Meet Our Team

Simon Lugan is the co-founder of Dive In™ and is accredited as a PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer, Bathysmed® Instructor & Ashtanga Yoga Instructor.

Simon's life changed when he started scuba diving in 2011. His introduction to the underwater world provided an escape from the stresses of working in the high tech startup industry and an adventure which prompted growth and newfound confidence in himself. Inspired by the positive changes scuba diving made to his life, Simon decided to pursue a career in the scuba diving industry to share these benefits with others.

It is most meaningful to Simon that each individual, no matter their age, baggage or disability, have the best experience underwater. This was not always possible when working for conventional dive operations.

In 2022, Dive In™ was developed to offer a personalised approach to scuba diving that emphasises physical and psychological safety, facilitating mindbody wellness and personal growth.

Bryony Roberts is a PADI Course Director and Consultant of Dive In™. Bryony has close to two decades of experience in scuba diving education and marine conservation. She has dedicated her career to sharing the joy she feels underwater, inspiring others to explore, connect with, and protect the underwater world.

Bryony is a passionate ocean advocate who loves sharing the power of connecting with the underwater world. She believes that protecting the health of our oceans and protecting our own health is one and the same; dive well to be well. As a PADI Course Director, Bryony has trained divers at all levels and mentors dive professionals to turn their love for the ocean into lifelong careers. Key to this, is the prioritisation of personal wellness alongside connecting to, and caring for the ocean, ensuring that future generations of divers embrace safe and responsible diving practices.

Through Journey Underwater and bryony_saltysoul, Bryony shares breathtaking underwater adventures, promotes marine conservation, and inspires divers to engage with the ocean in a meaningful way. Whether leading dive expeditions, conducting instructor courses, or advocating for ocean preservation, Bryony’s mission is simple: Protect what you love.

Bryony joined Dive In™ to create a space where divers – new and experienced – could connect, learn and grow. She has always believed that diving is more than a hobby or sport, it’s a journey. Dive In™ is all about making that journey accessible to everyone.
