Diving the way it should be ......... FUN

PADI Open Water Diver and PADI Open Water Referal Course.

The PADI Open Water Diver training course is designed to be totally modular and work around your availability and lifestyle.  Any part of the Open Water Course can be done with any PADI facility worldwide……
 
The PADI Open Water Course is made up of 3 parts: -
1. Theory
This is an on-line course undertaken via the PADI eLearning portal it consists of 6 sections plus an on-line exam.  You can work at your own speed (PADI estimate between 5 and 10hrs), putting it down and picking it back up when you have free time.
 
2. Pool Dives
In the comfort of one of our heated swimming pools you will undertake a swimming assessment (200m any stroke + 10min float) and 5 dives. During these dives under the friendly supervision of one of our PADI Professionals you will learn all the skill you need to become a safe & confident diver.  The swimming pool sessions are normally held over two days (Saturday & Sunday evenings 18:00 – 20:00).
 
3 Open Water Dives
This time its 4 dives held over 2 days; all you have to do is to demonstrate back to the instructor the skills you already mastered in the swimming pool.  As the sea conditions around the UK are un-predictable, we normally use an inland lake for this part of the course.

Free Mask and Snorkel with our Open Water Courses

Our Open Water Courses (excluding referral courses) include a FREE high-quality mask, Snorkel and mask box for you to keep at the end of your course worth £68.94.
 
If you wanted to add this to an Open Water Referral course or any other PADI course, taken with us we can offer you a special price of £45

Free Mask & Snorkel with PADI Open Water Course


If you are seriously considering learning to dive why not sign up for a FREE on-line orientation with one of our team.  During an informal Zoom call we can discuss face to face how we can make your (or your loved ones) dream come true, we try to provide all the information you need here but it’s often far more productive to talk.  You can discuss anything with one of our PADI Professionals for instance the course structure & requirements, health concerns, accessibility questions (physical / mental), how the junior course works, additional support, private courses or how our easy payment terms work….
WE ARE HERE TO HELP…….. remember the only silly question is the one you don’t ask.

We are more than happy for you to price check us against our competitors, in fact we encourage you to do so. 
Unlike some we try and be very upfront and clear about what is included and what’s not our PADI Open Water course includes: -
·      PADI on-line eLearning.
·
      A free mask and snorkel (RRP £68.94) for you to keep.
·
      Free equipment rental.
·
      All instructional costs.
·
      PADI Certification fees.
·
      We only train in small friendly groups (typically 4 students to 2 PADI professionals).

The only additional costs are the entry fees to the dive site for your qualifying dives (between £15 and £24 per day).

(Please be careful when comparing prices - We price checked a competitor recently who appeared to be much cheaper, however we noticed they require you to supply your own Boots, Fins, Mask & Snorkel amounting to a cost exceeding £100 based on their cheapest stock items)

 
Payment.
You can either pay for the course in full when you book or spread the cost by paying for each part of the course as you are ready to start that part of the training.

    One of our instructors will introduce you to the equipment you will be using during the Open Water course followed by a few skill, if you don’t like it all you have lost is an hour of your time.  However if you like it and want to proceed we can get you signed up to the next course and even better we will give you a £25 discount on the course and the try dive will count as dive number 1 of the Open Water course.
