FAQs
More reasons to choose Martin Robson Diving:
Many instructors use passive teaching techniques, where you learn by copying, by trial and error and through experience. While this is an important part of learning, Martin also employs direct teaching techniques, educating, explaining and showing you techniques to help you reach your goal.
How do direct teaching techniques benefit you?
You don’t have to worry about how you are doing or what you need to do next, that’s Martin’s job. You can enjoy the dives and the challenge of learning. As Martin says “It’s my job to teach you so that you can achieve your aim”.
Does Martin only teach high level tec courses?
No, there is nothing Martin enjoys more than introducing people to technical diving or the courses that lead to it. The great thing about getting on the tec path is that you are not expected to turn up knowing everything already! Starting out with a top tec diving instructor means you’ll learn the right way from the very beginning.

Martin teaches everything from your first sidemount or twinset dive through to trimix open circuit, recreational and technical rebreather through to CCR Trimix and CCR Expedition Trimix.
