I have been diving about 3 years with nearly 100 logged dives and was one of Stellar’s very first students. Under the tuition of Mr Hotch, I completed my MSD in the warm clear waters of the carribean although I don’t mind diving in the UK in the summer months I much prefer warmer waters […]
I have been intrigued by whats below the water for years, In 2011 I decided to have a go at scuba diving.Stellar has taken me from the first nervous pool session (can I breath under water?! No way :-)) all the way to proudly achieving my MSD in July 2014 at stoney cove. As for […]
I started diving just a year ago at the age of 66 and must admit to feeling my age sometimes with a 15 litre cylinder and a pony bottle on my back. While I am pleased to have reached this level with around 70 dives, it is only now that I feel, with Simon’s help, […]
I started diving 11 years ago and have now logged over 300 dives- always looking to reach new milestones! I remember my try dive – I thought I was James Bond –haha! Having spent a lot of time cold water diving in UK waters, inland sites, South coast, Scapa Flow, Anglesey etc., I really enjoy […]
We started diving in Sumer 2012 and have been hooked ever since.

Our passion for diving […]
I started diving with Stellar in 2012 and I haven’t looked back since. I loved scuba diving from the first moment I got into Open Water. I soon progressed to Advanced Open Water & securing some diver specialities along the way I became a PADI Rescue Diver in 2013. I completed my 50th dive […]
I found my love for diving August 2014 when on a holiday in the Caribbean, after the try dive I wanted to take the Open Water so that I could do more dives. Mum and Dad thought I wouldn’t carry on when back in England, but how wrong were they! So from the Caribbean sea […]
Petra grew up in Holland where as a child she developed a fascination with clogs, having amassed a collection of around a thousand she turned her passion to bulb growing. Modesty prevails; Petra will not mention this but she produced a hybrid bulb known as the Pertonella Maximus Polluxitium, it has a beautiful blue flower […]
I came to diving after retirement; passing my Open Water plus Drysuit specialty with Stellar Divers in March 2015 at Capernwray – aged 61 with snow on the hills and 4 degrees in the water! Despite the icicles on my nose I really caught the diving bug and have already dived in several parts of […]
I first put diving kit on at the age of 5 and I fell in love with it but it was only around the age of 12 when I started diving more frequently. At the age of 12 I achieved my Junior Advanced Open Water and by the age of 13 I gained Junior Rescue […]
The photo is of me astride the horse at Capenwray on completion of my open water Qualification October 2016. A very a proud moment, in my mind quite a achievement in my new and unruly dry suit. I have enjoyed the learning process of diving immensely with Hotch and Vic of Stellar Divers holding my […]
