Douglas Allen is the original founder of Plymouth Aquanauts, a local Plymouth BSAC club formed over 20 years ago. Run from his home in Derriford, he developed a unique environment from which his children created the shop and dive centre. Having taught for years he is now semi-retired, although he is the skipper of 'Outcast' and you'll often see him around the cebtre making sure his kids are behaving themselves. Enjoy his humor, he's one of the old skool, and there's not too many around anymore that will be as honest and actually tell you what they think about your diving ability. Don't worry, if you are really awful, he's one of the few that will say and give you every hint and tip under the sun to get better.
