AGE RANGE SCUBA DIVER OPEN WATER DIVER ADVENTURE DIVES ADVANCED OPEN WATER RESCUE DIVER Don t have that much time on your holiday? No problem, you can complete the Scuba Diver Course in just a day and a half! This is half of the Open Water Course and consists of a small amount of classroom time, 3 confined dives and 2 open water dives. You can upgrade to the Open Water certification at any time as this certification is good for life. This is the first full qualification for diving. Everyone has a different learning style and therefore everything you learn in this course you will first read (manual), then watch (videos) and finally do (confined/open water dives). There will be 5 modules of theory, videos and confined (shallow) water dives. This repetition will give you the practice and confidence you need to become a diver. After successful completion of basic skills in confined (shallow) water, you will progress to deeper water in 4 open water dives, giving you time to improve on the skills you ve been learning. Choose from a huge selection of special dives such as digital photography, underwater scooter (james bond style!), wreck, deep, nitrox and fish I.D. Each dive can count towards Advanced Open Water certification. This course consists of 5 dives and is designed for anyone who has already completed the Open Water course and wants to learn about different aspects of diving and improve their skills. The required dives are deep (to 30m, 15yrs+ or 21m 12-15) and navigation (underwater compass use) with the remaining 3 dives of your choice, including wreck diving, dpv (scooters), photography, peak performance buoyancy and many more! Serious fun! This course will make you a more aware and confident diver. You are taught how to handle various types of diver emergencies. Practicing rescue scenarios both above and below the water. A prerequisite for the course is a current (within 12 months) First Aid/CPR certification. The Emergency First Response course can accompany the rescue course if no first aid certification is currently held SPECIALITY COURSES We offer 14 different specialty courses which will enhance your diving knowledge and skill in a particular area. Courses include underwater photography, wreck diving, underwater navigation, deep diving (to 40m), enriched air, oxygen provider training and many more. 18+ Internship programs We offer a wide range of summer internship programs. These are ideal for students on summer holiday or as part of a gap year and also people wanting to make a career change.
