Question The tiger people....is it all wrong?
Today Kirky and I met the Tiger dive people at Capernwray, they have developed a novel approach to diver training.
The main guy comes into the site on the back of a Harley in a tiger suit, they all wear bright orange gear and have fancy dress parties in the evenings.

This is somewhat different to how I remember my diver training, but having met them, they seemed to be a good laugh and have a different approach to anything else I have seen.

Has anyone trained with them? Go on spill.......

Gotta say, this mob seem a scream - particularly the boss who seems to be a top notch fella - apart from the pink monk outfit though.......

Is training with them as much fun as it looks ?? They are based in Sheffield I think. Even the DM`s undersuit was orange !!!!!

Yes he dresses up as a pink monk in the evenings, I forgot about that.

38 students last month, must be doing something right.

Do they do Tiger DIR-F?

Not naming any names, but one YD member also does a convincing impression of an extra from a Tango advert with one of these.

Led Poison saw the sea in a book once
Angry TigerDive = TIGERDIE
Tiger Dives cowboys antics reflect their training!!

If a you want a cheap course then expect the training to be cheap also

The mark of a good club is the quality of their training but hey if you want to be a part of the circus then tiger dive is the place to be!

In fact I have a friend whom has just completed a Rescue course with them and I wouldn't let him rescue my dog. Actually I no longer dive with him as I consider his Open Water skills (OW course trained by TD no less)need re-training by ANOTHER dive school

If you are a card collector then Tiger Dive is for you! - if you want to be a diver then find a dive school who will teach you!!

If you wish to dig deeper you will discover that the jerk on the Harley is on administrative hold by PADI because of his shoddy training

Over to you! - FUCK Tigerdive is my advice!!
