Training

Learn to Dive with SCUBA CLASS!

Everybody over the age of ten and in normal health is welcome to Discover Scuba Diving at our Wednesday evening pool session.
Perhaps you wish to learn to snorkel effectively before your next holiday. Great family fun with other students, divers and instructors.

The Way the World Learns to Dive!

The PADI Open Water Diver course is the most recognised diving certification in the world.
PADI specify five confined water (pool) dives for your training, in addition to studying the five chapters of the manual and the five associated videos.
In our experience you will retain the information better by repeating it over five separate training sessions, rather than "overloading" in a single weekend and forgetting it just as quickly.
It is certainly more convenient for Dive Centres to teach you quickly and move on to the next group, but is it best for you?
Your life may depend upon your training - isn't it worth investing some time in it?

We provide a ratio of one Instructor for every two students in all of our pool sessions

Academic and pool training may be completed for only £250.00. DVDs optional extra £30.00

New Open Water Diver courses start every three weeks at our pool See Calendar for dates.

You attend five Wednesday evening pool sessions, with reviews of your home study.
Alternatively, we do offer weekend courses for people in a hurry, although we recommend splitting it over two weekends to avoid "information overload".

Your four Open Water Diver qualifying dives may be made under our instruction, in Wraysbury, a local UK training lake or included in one of our Holidays Abroad.

The qualifying dives may alternatively be completed at any PADI dive centre on a referral basis during a holiday.

The PADI Scuba Diver is an abbreviated version of the course providing a restricted qualification to anybody with insufficient time or ability to complete the full course. It requires study of only three chapters of the manual, three confined water dives and two open water qualifying dives.

Continued Education

Once Open Water qualified, a range of courses are available from PADI to equip you to safely dive sites beyond the training of an entry level diver.
These Specialty Courses provide lessons in many different activities within diving: Photography, Wreck, Deep, Night, Dry Suit, Nitrox, etc.
The perfect introduction to these courses is to take the Advanced Open Water Diver course. This provides the first dive from each of five of the specialty courses. It provides an opportunity to experience a range of different types of dive under the guidance of your instructor.
The Rescue Diver course is most students favourite course. It teaches you to look after yourself and your fellow divers, in and out of the water. The Emergency First Response 1st Aid course is now a pre-requisite for the Rescue Course and is usually offered as part of a package.
After achieving the Rescue qualification, five specialty course certifications and logging fifty open water dives, you are eligible to apply for a PADI Master Scuba Diver certification. This is the highest non-professional PADI Scuba certification and denotes a diver with a broad range of skills and experience.

Technical Diving takes you further still, with training in the equipment and procedures required for the greater depth and duration of technical dives.

Further training is available for divers wishing to progress to a professional level. Courses include Divemaster, Assistant Instructor and Open Water Scuba Instructor. These in turn may lead to higher levels within the industry - Specialty Instructor, Master Scuba Diver Trainer, Staff Instructor etc.
