Martin Statham
PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer
Martin is a self confessed adrenaline junkie. Before he started diving he was involved in a variety of active hobbies such as mountaineering, rock climbing, martial arts and so diving was another adventure sport for him to try.
Diving turned into more than just a one-off taster for Martin though and his love for the sport soon took its grip on him, especially on a holiday to the Red Sea soon after he qualified.
Since qualifying he has never looked back and in the last 12 months has completed over 200 dives. He has realized his potential as a dive coach and mentor and has completed the PADI Instructor Development course and PADI Instructor Exam with excellent results. Sub-Mission are proud to have the services of Martin as a member of the instructional team
Darren Birt
PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor
Darren learnt to dive in Gran Canaria and then took the plunge into Stoney Cove to convert to a UK diver. Spurred on by diving with his friend Ben, he continued up the PADI ladder to reach PADI Divemaster level. Darren found assisting and helping students overcome problems extremely rewarding so worked hard to become a PADI Assistant Instructor.
With the support of Sub-Mission, he has completed the PADI Instructor Development and successfully passed the PADI Instructor Exam with flying colours. We are sure that Darren will make a fantastic Instructor and continue to be a valuable asset to the team.
He is also TDI Advanced Nitrox & Deco Procedures certified & is a qualified TDI Advanced gas blender.

Dawn first got the diving bug during a holiday in Turkey. On returning home Dawn was recommended by a friend to Sub-Mission Dive School and completed her PADI Open Water course in March 2006.
After a nervous start in the cold waters of Stoney Cove, Dawn soon realized her passion for diving and there has been no stopping her since. She completed both the PADI Advanced & PADI Rescue Diver courses and broadened her knowledge, skills and confidence by successfully completing PADI's prestigious Master Scuba Diver award.
In November 2007, Dawn changed direction with her diving and achieved a milestone by completing her PADI Divemaster training along side Jasmin and Martin.
In her valued role as a PADI Divemaster, Dawn draws on her own training experiences to teach and assist others to overcome problems.

PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor
Syd started diving whilst on a family holiday in Mexico in August 2007 where he completed his PADI Open Water course. As soon as he returned to the UK he tracked down Sub-Mission and was eager to know more about the dive club, courses and equipment.
Keen not to let his new found love of diving wane, he completed the PADI Advanced Diver & PADI Rescue Diver courses in quick succession with Sub-Mission.
After a grueling 3 months PADI Divemaster internship Syd has grown into a confident, knowledgeable diver and is a great asset to the Sub-Mission dive team.
Syd is now a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor and his knowledge and enthusiasm will certainly be valuable as a member of a the world class instructional team at Sub-mission Dive School.
Richard Halfpenny
PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor
Rich began diving in 2004 after signing up, along with his wife Claire, for a PADI Open Water course with Sub-Mission. Having successfully completed the course he went to Egypt where he completed the PADI Advanced Open Water course. Already hooked he really thought it could not get better…
....but it did. A seemingly innocuous dive off the back of Jackson reef led to one of his most memorable diving experiences, an encounter with Hammerhead sharks. Only 10 dives into a career and a lifelong memory set in stone.
Coming back from Egypt saw more diving and continued education, various specialties, and PADI Rescue Diver certifications led him to Divemaster. Once He started working hands on with students he realized where the future lay. Skip forward to March 2006 and he completed the PADI Instructor exams, and you have his current qualification of PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor.
Simon Bowen
PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor
Simon started diving at Sub-Mission with Darren and Katy in September 2005 and completed his PADI Open Water and PADI Advanced courses in quick succession to enable a diving holiday that was planned to Sharm El Sheikh for November of that year.
The fifth dive after certification had him visiting "The Thistlegorm" in the Red Sea, and now he is totally addicted to diving.
Simon loves diving, and assisting students in all aspects of diving, and has successfully completed his PADI Instructor course earlier this year.
Jasmin Smith
PADI Assistant Instructor
Jasmin completed her PADI Open Water course in Turkey in June 2006 then continued her training with Submission Dive School upon her return. She dived in the UK intermittently until May 2007 before joining Sub-Mission Dive Club for a dive trip to Egypt.
From then on she was hooked, full of energy she returned to the UK with a more positive outlook to diving. Jasmin is well known in the dive club for her enthusiasm and passion for anything diving related.
She has progressed to the level of PADI Assistant Instructor and is hoping to complete her PADI OWSI by the end of the year. The most rewarding part of her role at Submission Dive is seeing individuals overcome fears in the water to become confident and natural divers.
She doesn't’t even mind 5.00 am starts every weekend, the thrill and exhilaration of diving more than makes up for that!

Neil Bagley
PADI Assistant Instructor
Neil never intended to love diving; in fact jumping into Capernwray mid-February was enough to make him think twice about finishing the course! But he did and he came back time and time again. Diving soon took its hold over Neil and over time he progressed to PADI Assistant Instructor.
Neil is infamous amongst the students for his laid back attitude and easy going nature. He is an asset to the team and has a magic touch with students, putting them at ease immediately.
Ben Snape
PADI Divemaster
Ben started diving on a holiday in Gran Canaria with his friend Darren and took the PADI Open Water Course whilst out there. He returned to Gran Canaria 6 months later to complete the PADI Advanced Open Water course.
A few months later Ben joined Sub-Mission Dive School and quickly progressed through various Specialty courses increasing his experience and knowledge, which led to the successful completion of his PADI Rescue Diver and PADI Divemaster Courses.
Particular interests include wreck diving and underwater photography, but like all of the Divemaster's at Sub-Mission, Ben enjoys nothing more than assisting with student divers undertaking pool and open water training.
Like his buddy Darren he too has completed his TDI Advanced Nitrox & Decompression Procedure courses and will be venturing that little bit deeper in search of those wrecks outside the depth limits of recreational diving.
Ben is also a qualified TDI Advanced gas blender.
Jo Hulme
PADI Divemaster
Joanne first tried scuba diving on a holiday in the Maldives in 2006 but ended up backing out due to nerves. Not wanting to be beaten, when Joanne booked to go the Maldives again she sought out Sub-Mission and completed the PADI Open Water course in September 2007.
After some amazing diving on holiday Joanne returned to the UK and was hooked! Joanne worked her way through to PADI Rescue Diver and in December 2008 she completed the PADI Divemaster Course.
Joanne loves to use her past problems and insecurities to help new divers overcome theirs to enjoy diving as much as she does. Joanne can be recognised by her perfectly normal sneeze!
Chris Phillips
PADI Divemaster
While on holiday in Turkey in 2007 Chris took part in a PADI Discover Scuba session with his friend Paul and was blown away with the experience. He completed his PADI Open Water course in 2007 and has steadily progressed through his PADI Advanced Open Water & PADI Rescue Diver courses. Chris has also completed several PADI Specialties and the PADI Divemaster courses, expanding on his diving experiences and building his knowledge and skills.
Chris is the co-founder of the naughty club along with partner in crime Paul (aka Taffy) and his actively recruiting new members. The Naughties are members of the elite semidry brigade of which there are a few hard core members (or some say a screw loose), diving throughout the year. Chris can often be found at the dive centre and is keen to get divers both new and old diving whenever possible.
Paul Lodwick
PADI Divemaster
When Paul was out in Turkey in June 2007 he wanted to try out Scuba Diving, so jumped at the opportunity as soon as he had found a PADI dive centre. He was so amazed by his aquatic adventure that he sought out the services of his local PADI Dive centre on his return to the UK.
Paul completed his PADI Open Water course and soon became hooked with his enthusiasm for the sport growing. He has since completed numerous PADI Specialty courses and progressed to the PADI Professional ranks by becoming a highly valued member of the Sub-Mission Divemaster team.
He is the 2nd member of the 'The Naughties' and is always on the look out to recruit more divers to his mischievous team.
Ian Thompson
PADI Divemaster
Lyndon Mills
PADI Divemaster
Lyndon has been with Sub-Mission for many years now, but may not be known to many club members due to most of his diving being beyond recreational limits. As an accomplished technical diver, Lyndon is a wreck junkie and loves nothing more than rummaging around inside wrecks, especially those virtually untouched deeper wrecks. Having completed his Advanced Trimix course in 2009, Lyndon was the 1st club member to have reached the mind boggling depths of 100 metres.
Lyndon has a passion for the sport and his knowledge and experience of diving is a valuable asset to the Sub-Mission team.
