Excellent instructor
Will recommend to others.
Very approachable & a font of knowledge.
Even answers questions asked via email or over the phone.

Cold day at Stoney Cove but Phil made it so worthwhile . CCR Experiance for three of us .
Day started with briefing on Rebreather , safety and dive brief . We then took it in turns to dive , each one lasting over 45 min . Was very professional and patient , even through my buoyancy issues . Just like starting all over again ! . Would definitely recommend and good value . Now looking at progressing down the Rebreather route

Phil is a clear calm and precise instructor with great background knowledge and a wealth of real diving experience.
This is the second tech course that I have done with him (previous one was ART Trimix) and both courses were excellent.
Be prepared to start early as there is a lot to fit in!

I have used Phil on a number of occaisons for technical dive training and I am always impressed by his knowledge and experience which he tailors to your exact requirements. He is also an extremely nice guy and you will certainly have fun as well as vastly improve your diving skills.

This particular session was a sidemount try-out dive, and Phil got me in the water with an unfamiliar kit set up very quickly (but safely) in order to maximise dive time. A great introduction to an alterntive form of technical diving. I would highly recomend Phil for any typye of techincla diving you are doing or want to do, be it backmount, sidemount or rebreather.

This is the 3rd course I've completed with Phil, having previously done a Nitrox (2007) and Advanced Recreational Trimix (2014).

As ever his instruction both in the water and in the classroom was clear and concise and Phil takes the time to make sure you understand what it is you need to do in order to successfully complete the task in hand.

Unfortunately the course materials from the IANTD for this course are quite poor but that is outside of Phil's control and Phil ensures you have really understood the content while delivering the classroom sessions at a pace that is tailored to the individual needs of the students.

Three of us went to Stoney Cove to do our first CCR trydive,we were met by Phil at the entrance to Stoney nice and early to make full use of our time.We are given a full rundown on the rebreather and pre dive checks,the info was given to us clearly and its obvious Phil knows his stuff.We then spent the best part of an hour each in the water under instruction,running some bailout procedures,then trying our best to fin along the six metre shelf,all under Phils carefull watch.The guy gets top marks for patience!his style of instruction is great and he seems unfazed by our diving style on this different piece of kit.I would absolutely recommend Phil to anyone wanting a trydive,a great experience.

Excellent instructor! Had a great week at stoney doing my mod 1 rebreather course, practiced all the skills lots of times till I stopped asking silly questions and became second nature. I've been out practicing Phil, nearly used 2 tubs of lime already!!

Great instructor ,very friendly and most of all very patient with a older person who needed a bit of time to get his head round this new stuff

I did the 5 day CCR diver with Phil.
The whole experience was extremely positive, the review of my abilities was accurate, whilst protecting my sensitive nature lol. I think there were several times where I was not as good as I would have liked to have been.

He was able to access my learning style and has been very helpful since the course in introducing me to other individuals where I can get time in on my unit. The technical aspects / theory were explained fully.

I was shocked at how all the diving took me back to the beginning bouncing up and down with poor buoyancy etc hardly any of my experience came in handy. This was managed very well.

Would recommend to anyone and looking forward to 12 months time for the next level.

Thanks Phil

Kevin

Excellent instructor,
Phil took time to explain in detail some aspects of the course i struggled with.
Very approachable & friendly makes students feel at ease
Will do other courses with Phil.

Following my day have gone and ordered an AP ccr, and booked my course with Phil. Says it all really.

From my initial thought of moving on to rebreathing diving, Phil Grigg, advised me on what to look for when purchasing a rebreather, and before the course actually started, reviewed all components with me, taking it apart and putting it back together correctly. Having started the CCR course, I suffered a major personal problem which took me out of diving for a while. Phil worked with me on my return, reviewing the previous training and helped me get back into the water again, making major effort to ensure I was comfortable diving again.
Throughout the course Phil was always helpful and willing to answer what must be repeative questions to him as if I was the first to have asked them.
When some of my equipment failed Phil, even lent me his to ensure I could finish off the course.

Fantastically knowledgable, helpful, considerate and always willing to assist regardless of context, I will definitely continue my training with Phil.

I had a CCR try dive on an AP Rebreather with Phil Grigg Technical Diving. Phil explained the basic concepts of a rebreather and then explained what all the components did. After a very informative session and all questions answered we then proceeded with the dive. Phil was very patient and explained exactly what was going to happen in the water and the differences to expect that differed from open circuit.

The whole experience was very worthwhile and informative and a must if you are thinking of following this diving path. Phil is very informative, patient and knowledgeable and I would wholeheartedly recommend him for any of your technical diving requirements.

I did my MOD 2 sentinel CCR with Phil. A well organised and informative course from beginning to end. Phil took a nervous student and turned him into a confident and informed diver. He passed on many tips and tricks. its only on reflection after the course do I understand how much I had learnt. This knowledge has been put to good use and I am now regularly diving to depth, confident that I can handle any challenges thrown at me........Cheers Phil

Phil Grigg is one of the most professional and approachable instructors I have had the pleasure to be taught by. His knowledge is vast, not only about the course, but with all aspects of technical diving. Any questions we had were answered very thoroughly, yet in a way easy to understand. His diving skills are excellent, especially his shutdown demos, which he performs with such ease. To top it all, he's a genuinely nice bloke, and easy to get on with. I would definitely look to Phil for my future training with IANTD.
