Learning to scuba dive: An Introduction

Learning to scuba dive has never been so much fun, or so available to the general public, as it is today. Anyone who has a reasonable level of fitness and a good attitude for fun and exciting experiences will love the thrill of diving.

Having decided to have a go at diving, there are many options available. First of all, you can enrol in one of our 'Discover Scuba' sessions. This try-dive, consists of a 1 hour introduction to scuba in the safety of a indoor heated swimming pool where you will learn a little about the equipment and actually get to dive! This 'taster' session will allow you to try diving before committing to learning to dive, in addition to providing you with a fun afternoon out!

Once you have decided to learn to dive the next step is to enrol on your PADI Open Water course, the worlds most popular learn to dive course.

 

Our PADI Open Water Course options consist of three distinctive areas:
1. Knowledge Development (Read More...)
2. Skills Development (Read More...)
3. Qualifying Dives (Read More...)
