Open2Tec<\/strong> is led by James McClumpha<\/strong>, a freelance PADI Recreational and Technical Diving Instructor who provides a personal and flexible approach to scuba training.
Instead of operating from a single dive shop, I travel between the UK, Greece, and Egypt<\/strong>, delivering high-quality recreational and technical courses in partnership with trusted, professional PADI diving centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal is to take divers from their first dive to technical depth<\/strong>, with safe methods, real experience, and a progression that builds confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Professional Freelance Instruction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As an independent instructor, I am able to offer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Flexible scheduling to match your travel plans<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Private or small-group training<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Personal instruction directly with me (no handovers)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Tailored progression based on your goals<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Support before, during, and after your course<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    All courses are taught to full PADI standards<\/strong>, with structured skill development, modern techniques, and a strong focus on safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Training Across Three Top Locations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I currently teach across three regions<\/strong>, each offering excellent diving environments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\udde7 United Kingdom<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Cold-water experience, historic wrecks, and excellent conditions for learning real-world diving skills. Perfect for building confidence and preparing for international diving trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83c\uddec\ud83c\uddf7 Greece<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Warm water, easy conditions and relaxed environments \u2014 ideal for beginners, recreational training, and the first steps toward deeper diving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83c\uddea\ud83c\uddec Egypt \u2013 Red Sea<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    One of the best technical diving locations on the planet. Deep walls, caves, wrecks, and ideal trimix conditions. Egypt is my main base for advanced and technical training<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Working With Professional Dive Centers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To provide a premium training experience, I partner only with fully certified and professional dive centers<\/strong>, offering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
