  • Episode 215 West Coast Diving Scott Divitt

    Episode 215 West Coast Diving Scott Divitt
    Nov 24 2025
    This week on The BiG Scuba Podcast, Gemma and Ian sit down with Scott Divitt, owner of West Coast Diving in Irvine, Ayrshire, Scotland. His whole life has been about the water. It started as a kid, messing about with boats and sailing, which led him straight into the Royal Navy after secondary school. After leaving the navy Scott started working as an ROV Pilot, and now works freelance as an ROV Supervisor. He gets paid to drive robots and manage operations in tough marine environments! On the fun side, Scott is a massive fan of diving, especially sidemount. He is a RAID Instructor for both regular and sidemount diving, and loves showing people what an amazing underwater world we have. When Scott is not teaching or guiding super-yacht dives on Scotland's west coast, he ca be found in the workshop. Thanks to his long engineering background, he expertly handles the technical side of the business, testing cylinders and servicing dive gear. Scotts background gives his a pretty unique take on diving. Whether it's the high-tech demands of his day job or teaching a new diver, it all comes back to a lifelong love for the ocean. To find out more follow Scott here: Facebook West Coast Diving Instagram West Coast Diving West Coast Diving Website https://www.facebook.com/share/1CRwdq7JWj/ Gemma and Ian have a catch up before chatting to Scott and cover the new attraction at Stoney Cove, a train carriage that will be sunk to a depth of 22 meters. Read more about this here. We had the pleasure of attending the Ocean Film Festival at the UEA in Norwich and you can read more about the films we saw here : Read about the 7 films. We are also excited about our visit to Midlands Dive Chamber and going on a dry dive as well as talking to the team about the importance of the facility. We also talk about the 52 litre Adventure Kit Box from Waterhaul and how useful it will be for diving gear.
