Our History
Robin Hood Watersports was established in April 1981 by Bob & Barbara Findlow, both passionate BSAC Advanced Diving Instructors. The ‘Robin Hood’ brand name comes from the cottage where the business first opened. As such, people often assume we’re based in Nottingham; we’re actually based in Heckmondwike, a Yorkshire town southwest of Leeds.
