Jump into… Scuba Escape

Scuba Escape… where to start. How amazing has this been! From sitting with Leanne in lockdown playing a game of Monopoly, to creating the world’s first underwater escape room, ending up on HEART radio, The Metro newspaper and various others… even media in Germany, America and Poland, the BBC’s The ONE Show…. All of the main games being accepted as PADI Speciality courses. Being nominated as Go North Wales Activity of the Year, getting a second location on Liverpool Docks within 6 months. It has been mad.

The reason for the post though isn’t to brag, but to show you that a small idea can turn into something amazing and that UK diving is, and can be, amazing. People that had never even looked at diving have come to Scuba Escape, now helped by the fact that ‘non-divers’ can also take part in the Scuba Escape experience, bringing even more people into the UK diving market.

Scuba Escape has not been without its challenges though, I mean the biggest one trying to explain to people that you will not be locked in a box under the water… having to find a material that does not float to become ‘space coal’, chasing around skeleton arms under the water for Treasure of Syreni… it has definitely brought some bizarre moments into my scuba diving… and even more bizarre items into my Amazon shopping basket.

It has. however, been absolutely amazing. I could not have imagined that Scuba Escape would become as big as it has, and it still doesn’t seem real. I am immensely proud to not only be doing this with Leanne, but for us to be changing the UK diving market, bringing something new and exclusive and changing the way that it is viewed in other countries. We always look for ways to get new divers into the sport… sometimes we just need to think outside the box, or inside it as the case may be!

So, if you have not tried it yet… or don’t watch TV, read magazines, newspapers or listen to the radio… make sure you go to the website and check it out and come along for a game with your dive buddies. Whether you want to rob an underwater bank, chase mermaids, become the new Sonic the Hedgehog or Tom Cruise, there is something for everyone!
