The Open Water Course is the first certification offered by PADI. The course is aimed at people with no prior diving experience. The course consists of five confined water dives and four Open Water Dives and theory. The theory side of the course is all self-study with additional help from the instructor when needed. At the end of all theory sessions there is a fifty-question exam.

Upon certification as an Open water diver you may dive with a buddy independent of supervision to a maximum of 18 metres, obtain air fills, plan, conduct and log open water dives and finally continue with you diver training.
The Adventures in Diving program offers two certificate options. Upon completion of any three Adventure Dives earns you the PADI Adventure Diver rating. If you then go on to complete the Deep Dive and underwater Navigation dive you will earn the Advanced Open Water certification.

The course can be completed in a minimum of two days. And involves some theory but no exam. Once qualified you will be able to dive to a maximum of 40 metres.
The PADI Rescue Diver course is an important and crucial step in expanding your knowledge and experience beyond a purely recreational level. Rescue divers learn to look beyond themselves to consider the safety and well being of other divers.

The course consists of 12 Open water exercises and a 50-question exam spread out over a minimum of two days.

Over the duration of the course you will expand your knowledge in preparation for PADI leadership training, learn effective diver rescue and first aid skills, learn how to manage realistic rescue situations, increase your awareness of dive safety and learn how to anticipate and prevent problems.
The medic first aid course is aimed at non-divers as well as divers and is just a basic first aid course. It covers CPR, rescue breathing and other areas such as choking and bleeding. It can be completed in a day and has no prerequisites.

As the entry to professional levels in diver training, the PADI Dive master course plays a pivotal role within the PADI System of diver education. PADI Dive masters assist instructors with training student divers and can supervise diving activities for certified divers, snorkelers and skin divers.

During the course you will develop the knowledge, attitudes, judgement and skills for supervising certified divers in shore and boat based diving activities, for assisting with training dives in PADI courses, for independently conducting specific PADI programs and developing your knowledge of diving theory, water and rescue skills and gain valuable experience to the levels necessary to enter further PADI professional courses. The course can be completed in a minimum of 5 days and includes some open water dive scenarios, theory sessions and exams.

 

 
This programme is aimed at 14+ years, consisting of the following: -
First dive FREE in the pool – enables the participant to enjoy the experience in the comfort of the swimming pool and allows them to familiarise themselves with the equipment.

Once the participant is ready for the sea they are given a briefing explaining the basics necessary for safe and enjoyable scuba diving then some skill practice in the shallow water and a dive around the bay with our instructors to a maximum depth of twelve metres

The full duration of the course is 2-3 hours.


One of the best ways to introduce kids to the world of SCUBA diving. This is a totally new underwater experience offered by PADI and fully endorsed by the Recreational Scuba Training Council, an internationally recognized government body.

The Programme is aimed at 8-13 year olds and it gives the young and adventurous an opportunity to experience scuba diving within the safe confines of the swimming pool.

Upon completion a certificate is awarded and there is the opportunity to purchase an underwater photo.

Once again SASY is a great way to introduce youngsters not just to Scuba But to the water and the pool.

SASY is aimed at 5-7 years old and is once again conducted in the safe confines of the pool. The whole experience is conducted on the surface of the water and each participant is offered a buoyancy aid if needed to help maintain positive buoyancy.

The participant then wears a mask and is allowed to breath from a SCUBA regulator whilst staying at the surface and hence experiencing underwater breathing for the first time whilst floating on the surface. Just like snorkelling but with supplied air i.e. the scuba tank.

Very easy and very simple, we are here to see that no one misses out on their holiday.
