Instructors

 

David Normington 
Owner PADI MSDT Instructor, Speciality Instructor, EFR Instructor
 
David took up diving in 2000 whilst on Honey Moon in Zanzibar.  It soon became his major passion and in 2005 took the bold step to turn his back on a succesful carear in IT and Finance and bought Clubsub (Northants).
 
David believes diving should be both safe and fun.  Through his experience with other Dive centre and instructors he has noticed that some forget the reason people learn o dive and thats the fun as well as the challenge of Diving.
 
He believes the Club enviroment that came from BSAC and SAA combined with the PADi fun ethos is a great combination and has prompted this through out Clubsub, encouraging our divers to feel that the Dive Centre is their centre  and they are always welcome to call in for advice, or just social chit chat.
