Learn to Dive
PADI Open Water Diver is the first scuba certification level that allows you to dive independently (with a buddy but without an Instructor or other scuba diving professional).
A highly-trained PADI Instructor will teach you to scuba dive in a relaxed, supportive learning environment. Learning to dive can be done in as little as 5 weeks, like all of the great sports - it can be learned quickly but take a lifetime to master!
Routes to certification
There are several ways to learn to dive, it depends on; you, where you will be doing most of your diving and, what you want from the sport.
Fitness to Dive
Click the link on Fitness for diving to find out how fit you need to be for diving (you'll be surprised, it's definitely not as fit as you thought!)
Within the blog is also a copy of the medical form you'll be required to fill in so you can review it and talk to us about anything you're unsure of.
How far will you go?
Upon completion of your Open Water Diver certification, the world becomes a smaller place and your horizons widen.
Choosing to stay an OW diver means you can enjoy diving up to 18m with a buddy anywhere in the world, the beauty of this sport is the opportunities it offer to progress and challenge in areas of interest.
Looking for your next challenge? We always suggest to an Open Water Diver looking to progress that they consider the Advanced Open Water Course next.
Groups, Families & Organisations
More than two? It's highly likely you'll enjoy a private course and with more people getting involved there are more savings to be had. The course is the same irrespective of age (although the delivery differs slightly) so if you're looking for a family activity that everyone will love then we think you're in the right place!
Families
Based upon a Family of 4, learning to dive together as one group, take your Open Water and Dry Suit courses with us, diving at home and abroad allow you to make the most of your holiday by getting off the plane and straight into the water!
In a private group you'll enjoy a bespoke course run for you and your family, with a dedicated instructor and assistant who will work with the whole family during certification ensuring continuity and the very best experience.
All equipment, tuition and pool hire is included for the duration of the course.
