Heriot Watt Scientific Divers
Dive team dedicated to researching the important questions about our marine world
Our team is a group of 9 divers, all divemasters and above, with over 100 years of diving experience between us. All of our divers hold marine biology qualifications to a minimum of MSc level and in fact we have a professor and 4 doctors in our midst. We work on a range of projects, some taking us to distant locations such as the Arctic, Antarctic and Central America; but all our work always maintains a strong UK focus.
