Mavericks Diving uses a unique training facility - Action Underwater Studios - for our NAUI scuba courses. Action Underwater Studios is a specialist filming studio designed for movie crews to shoot in-water and underwater film sequences. Just entering the reception room and looking at the personally inscribed portraits on the walls from the stars who've worked here tells it's own story. Tomorrow Never Dies, The Bourne Supremacy, Sexy Best, The Phantom Menace and Harry Potter The Prisoner of Azkaban are just a few of the major motion picture productions that have all depended upon Action Underwater Studios for their success.

Mavericks Diving is extremely fortunate to have been invited to use Action Underwater Studios for our diving courses. Our training philosophies helped Mavericks Diving secure use of the studio because we impressed the AUS company directors with our attention to detail and to safety. The Action Underwater Studios facility features a dedicated conference room where we hold our theory presentations. well appointed individual changing and shower rooms are provided for your comfort. There's also ample car parking and nearby overground train stations. But the main attraction is the principle filming tank. 12 x 9 metres (40 x 30 ft) in area the tank is fully 6 metres (20 ft) deep. It means that we can really go to work helping you develop near perfect buoyancy control skills as part of your Mavericks Diving NAUI scuba course. With 6 metres available, you can properly learn to control your ascent and descent rates, simulate safety stops using dive computers and master snorkelling techniques. The Action Underwater Studios tank also provides a real sense of depth, making the transition to open water diving much easier than transferring from the shallow three metre and even two metre pools used by most other dive schools. For many other courses and workshops that Mavericks Diving London offers Action Underwater Studios is the perfect facility. So it's likely you'll be returning to this fanstastic facility time and again. Included are our Diamond Reef precision buoyancy workshop, scuba equipment workshop, drysuit courses, scuba review, snorkelling teach in's and, of course, underwater photography events. Mavericks Diving London will also be holding monthly wet sessions at Action Underwater Studios during 2008 for divers to keep their hand in.
