                                                          I've been diving for many years although these days I can normally be found behind the counter in the shop... the last place I want to be!

                                                          For the last few weeks I've been playing with the Poseidon Discovery Rebreather - lots of fun and I've not broken it too much yet...

                                                          Andy Manze

                                                          PADI Assistant Instructor

                                                          Although possibly one of the most laid-back members of the team, Andy can usually be found behind a huge camera taking photos of anything that will stay still long enough.
                                                          Anne Riley

                                                          Anne, or Trolly as she is better known, has been hanging around for nearly a decade. One of our home-grown Instructors, she completed her Open Water Course back in 2000.

                                                          One of the first to sign up for trips away, Anne is a regular fixture here at the Club.

                                                          Another of our more laid-back Instructors, Bruce came to us as a Trainee Divemaster in 2004.

                                                          We still haven't managed to drag him away with the group to Egypt but we're working on it!

                                                          Bryan, or Stickers as he is known to everyone, especially the X-Box brigade, has also been hanging around for nearly a decade. One of our home-grown Instructors, he completed his Open Water Course back in 2001. Almost impossible to wind-up he's always here to help out with training at DIVE Northampton.

                                                          Tony, also known as Petal, started diving in 2005, completing his Divemaster Course in 2009. A regular team member who will usually be found in the pool on a Thursday is always on the lookout for green slips from the current Mrs Petal, be it to go diving or other strange stuff like Fun Runs! He has now completed his PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor rating.

                                                          The Lobster's identity is unknown but they make a lovely couple...

                                                          Derek, or Cooey as he is universally known, is out longest serving staff member - known to tell anyone who will listen that he trained Andy to dive in the 90's.

                                                          One of our most qualified Instructors, Jason has to spit his time between a very busy job, a hectic family life and his love of diving.

                                                          After completing his Advanced Open Water in 2007, Bradley as he is known, has been a regular fixture here at the Centre - not least because he is one of our neighbours. After taking nearly 2 years to finish, not least because of his rather accident-prone nature, Bradley finally qualified as a Divemaster and has recently completed his PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor.
