Meet the team

Lewis Johnson Lewis grew up on St Mary's and has been diving for five years. He is a SSI Instructor and spends his summers on Scilly running seal snorkelling trips. He then heads off to hot sunny places in the winter where he teaches people to dive. |
Izzy Godden Izzy is the newest member of our team.She learnt to dive at the age of 12 and is a PADI Dive Master. She is currently studying Geography at the University of Exeter, Penryn Campus. |
Viv Allsop
Viv organises all the bookings but as she doesn't like to get her feet wet you won't see her out on the boat! She's also a very talented wood turner - pop into North Farm gallery while you're on St Martin's to see the beautiful things she produces. |
John Ives John worked with us for eleven years and will always be part of our team. He now sometimes helps out during the summer. He used to work for the European Space Agency in Holland which makes him a very interesting person to talk to. He has been diving for over 25 years and is a BSAC Advanced Instructor. |
Sharon Stewart
Sharon has been coming to dive on the islands since 1990 and like many of us loves St Martin's. She helps us out at Easter and in August. Sharon likes the colour purple so she's easy to spot! |
