Courses of the Month
Each month we feature one of our courses at a discounted rate, giving you the opportunity to expand your diving skills or try something new.
This months Courses are:-
PADI Enriched Air
Sunday 4th December 2022
As travel restrictions are starting to relax around the world many people are looking towards booking holidays in the sun. Most dive boats theses days use Enriched Air as the norm and some are unable to supply air anymore. If you are not qualified to use Nitrox then you will need to do a course on the boat before you will be able to dive this is not only inconvenient but can also be very costly.
Most divers aren't aware that you can do the PADI Enriched Air qualification without even getting in the water, here at Sussex Diving & Leisure we run regular dry Nitrox courses in our classroom.
Whats involved?
At home you work you way through the course materials at your own speed, knowing that we are only ever a phone call away to assist with anything you don't understand.
There is then a classroom session where we discuss your knowledge reviews, you get the opportunity to analyse a Nitrox mixture using an industry standard analyser, if you bring your computer (and instructions) we will also show you how to adjust your computers profile to fit the mix you are using.
Re Activate you PADI Qualifcation
Sunday 18th December 2022, Sunday 29th January 2023, Sunday 19th Febuary Plus other dates as required.
So you haven't dived for a while this really isn't a problem…….
With the PADI Re-Activate you will re-visit some of the important theory you did during your Open Water course at home, then when you are ready we will take you to our heated pool in Chichester West Sussex where we will revisit some of the key skills we use during every dive plus some of the new skills you may not have seen yet, with plenty of time left to practice some skills of your choice.
On completion PADI issue a new e-card at your previous qualification level.
When you book your course remember to ask about equipment servicing, we can arrange for you kit to be serviced and ready to use for the pool session

PADI Seal Team
New Course starts Sunday 15th January 2023
We are now taking bookings for our new children's diving club
This PADI course is targeted children from 8 years of age and is designed to act as a link to the PADI Jr Open Water Course once ready.
In the safety of out heated pool your children will learn about the equipment and skills involved in diving whilst having fun under the supervision of our award winning instructor.
Initially this course will run monthly for 5 months, although we may consider increasing it to every other week if there is sufficient demand for a more frequent experience.
Whats involved?
The PADI Seal Team is for young scuba divers who are looking for action-packed fun in a pool by completing exciting AquaMissions.
Have your children ever wondered what it's like to float effortlessly like an astronaut? We can offer them the chance to find out!
Beyond learning basic scuba skills, there are specialty AquaMissions, such as wreck diving, navigation, buoyancy, environmental awareness and more. PADI Seal Team includes doing some cool stuff in the pool, meeting friends and sharing in the adventure of the underwater world.
Who can take the course?
Anyone over the age of 8 can take this course and it is often used as a bridge to the Jr Open Water Course when the child is confident and comfortable enough to progress. There is also a "Master Seal" course consisting of a further 10 "Aquamissions" that can follow on from this course.
Parental approval is required.
