Welcome to PartFishDiving

My name’s Chris Dennis and I’m a Platinum status Hypoxic Instructor Trainer, Overhead Instructor Trainer and CCR diver for SSI who’s been working in the diving industry for over 15 years.

For the last three years I’ve been developing the technical diving department of Malta’s largest SSI Career Centre, training and certifying divers in everything from their first taste of tec to hypoxic trimix dives and instructor qualifications.

Now, I’ve established PartFishDiving so I can bring my enthusiasm and expertise to even more people.

Sharing knowledge has always been central to what I do. As a dive instructor, I’ve been able to combine my love of the underwater world with a genuine commitment to helping others learn, grow, and succeed.

Along the way, I’ve worked with multiple leading training agencies and I’m dedicated to delivering the highest standard of training, ensuring every diver has a safe, rewarding and enjoyable experience.

I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every diver is different, with their own goals and learning style. By tailoring my teaching to the individual, I help divers build confidence and progress effectively.

For me, great instruction is about balance; knowing when to challenge, when to support, when to listen, and when to step back, allowing true development to happen.

Malta and Gozo are my favourite places in the world to scuba dive – their endless visibility, mesmerising caves and unbelievably warm temperatures are what keeps me teaching here year after year. It’s a fantastic location to take your first steps into the water, and the perfect place to advance your diving to the next level.

I look forward to diving with you soon!
