"The Diver’s Tale is an unvarnished account of real British diving, based on the author’s 40+ year experience. Britain is an island nation so, unsurprisingly, scuba diving is a popular British pastime enjoyed by some 50,000 keen participants and just as many of the armchair variety. A carefully-structured programme of training ensures that the British diver is well-prepared for the challenging conditions which may be encountered beneath our seas. Or does it? How many trainee divers were taught about the perils of high-speed testicular trauma during descent? Or the dangers of having sex in a tent with a deaf person? Why bacon should be in your first aid kit. How to build a space shuttle using salvaged ammunition? Or why the name Valerie is so very special?
During a 40 year plus odyssey through the strange and exotic world of British diving, Nick Lyon and his disparate collection of buddies have answered all these questions from personal experience, and many more besides. It may not be pretty, it may not be painless but to those in the know, it’s real British diving. From ill-fitting homemade wetsuits to technical closed-circuit rebreather diving, this book is an insight into the ‘glamour’ and history of scuba diving in the UK by a man who has done it all.
The Diver’s Tale is not a diving manual — quite the opposite. How not to do it, why not to do it, when not to do it and who not to do it with. Amusing, frequently embarrassing, often unpleasant and occasionally tragic, the book plunges into the world of the real British diver!
Now re-edited and brought back up to date, with a new chapter and a Foreword by Andy Torbet."
Let our customers speak for us!
from 659 reviewsI ordered a dry robe for my granddaughters birthday and it basically arrived in hours, I do hope she likes it, it looks warm and cosy.
Bought multiple items from Waterworld Sports. We are fairly new to buying and using our own equipment and Russell has been extremely helpful in responding to any queries and advising on suitable products.
I initially ordered the wrong one but Russell soon sorted a replacement out for me and got it shipped to me. Great for attracting attention in water and on the surface. Ducks a little confused though 😀
I made an order, with one item being discontinued. Straight away I had an e-mail from Russell, offering an alternative. After a brief correspondence, and fantastic advice, I went with the alternative. Could not be happier! Would highly recommend!
I have been diving for 25 years and have bought from many SCUBA and water sports suppliers. This company is the best I have dealt with, even with post sales advice. Cannot recommend highly enough
Bought for holiday to Egypt in September. Fit well. Looking forward to snorkling in the Red Sea. Russell at Water World contacted me about the snorkel being unavailable. I was advised an alternative. Excellent advice. Would highly recommend the site.
Arrived well packaged and in good time. Thanks
This is so handy and saves hearing a lot of complaining!
The price was really good and delivery within the stated times.
Thank you!
I have ordered a few accessories from Waterworld Sports over the last couple of months, and each time the service that I have received from them has been excellent.
If an item might be delayed due to it coming from their suppliers they were very quick at notifying me regarding this. If I had any questions they responded in a very short time, and their prices and postage costs are very good.
Overall, they are a great company to do business with.

I found Waterworld Sports when I was looking for Garmin charts online. I had made a mistake when ordering and even on the weekend I got an email reply and was able to change my order with no fuss. Delivery was exactly on time and availability instant.
I can only recommend Waterworld Sports, Great Job, Russell.
would highly recommend as goes out of there way to fulfill our diving needs
From initial contact and discussion my order was placed and delivery was the following day.
The part I purchased didn’t come with any instructions, so I had to contact them a few times for assistance . They were extremely helpful and helped to resolve the problem.
I can highly recommend them.
