About Us

Established in March 1995, The Simply Group launched its first website simplyscuba.com in 1996 and we've been at the forefront of online retail innovation ever since.

Buoyed by the continued success of Simply Scuba we launched Simply Hike in the summer of 2006 and it rapidly became a trusted player in the outdoor leisure market. We're always looking for better ways to help you research and buy your kit online by harnessing the latest technology with our high standards of customer service.
