HSE Scuba

Just completed my HSE Scuba at Puffin, I have never done a course where I have learned so much valuable information in such a short time. In just under 3 weeks our team went from OW divers to being HSE certified and capable of tackling any job/task thrown at us!

Puffin has great facilities available from the self service air fill panel to a shop where they stock everything in 10 different sizes. I also stayed in one of the on site chalets.. another thing I couldn’t find a fault with, modern and warm!

The instructors Mo & Amy were fantastic throughout and couldn’t do enough to help. Making the course that bit easier.
Mike (the boss) lead most of the diving operations and dealt with the pre & post briefs, helping us to iron out our little flaws only to make our diving safer and more efficient for future careers that lie ahead. A very knowledgeable and experienced guy.

For anyone doing the HSE course be prepared to work but remember it’s something worth working for 💪

Thanks again Puffin 😁


Excellent Experience!

Brilliant set up in a fab, quiet bay conveniently just five minutes from the busier waters of Oban. Amy and Mo were extremely friendly ensured that I had an amazing first try at diving - off now to book onto a full course with them ASAP! Thanks very much.


Top quality training

We spent a week training at Puffin in August. My boys had an excellent time with the instructors and got their PADI open water certificates. I got my drysuit certification. Very safe and professional and a beautiful location. Would highly recommend.


Excellent dive centre

We used Puffin Divers as a base during a recent diving trip. Nicola and the team were really welcoming and helpful and the shop has everything a diver needs. I will definitely be going back !


Expertise in abundance!

A fab visit to Puffin Dive Centre with really helpful staff. Thanks to Amy for carring my tanks -saved my hopefully temporary bad back and to Mike for his really interesting advice and suggestions as to why I should not buy a trilaminate dry suit and stick to neoprene. Appreciate Mo's perseverance in getting me the correct fit in a dry suit with alteration being done by her. All in all a successful outcome.


A brilliant organisation!

I have visited Puffin Dive Centre twice now. The first time was to complete an Open Water Dive Course. The centre left such a good impression I returned two weeks later for the Advanced Open Water Course!

After contacting the centre seeking information, I was provided with a really good insight in to what was involved that gave me the confidence to book shortly after. The centre provided very well priced accommodation for the duration of both of my stays and detailed joining instructions for the courses.

The staff are brilliant and instil confidence in the students by providing good and well thought challenges to help the students grow their ability. Moreover, the staff have helped me picture what is involved in my progression of training/development, so I can start to plan future visits and courses.

The Puffin Dive Centre Shop is treasure trove of equipment. Although I have used equipment rented from the centre on each course, I have begun investing in my own kit and equipment. After each course the staff have taken the time to discuss my requirements and provide their professional insight in to what I should purchase.

I can without hesitation recommend the Puffin Dive Centre to those who are starting out to the veteran diver!


Bought wetsuit and had excellent advice

Visited the Puffin Dive Centre and got excellent help and advice to buy a wetsuit for our daughter (can be challenging with so many on the market). It was well-used for both Kayaking and Canoeing on the Isle of Mull and will hopefully be useful for Scuba in the future. A real specialist Aladin's cave of dive equipment.
