Learn To Dive
Learning to dive is a great adventure. It opens up a new world to you, one where your senses and perceptions are altered by the water where you can experience a weightless floating as you explore the underwater scenery. There are 2 entry level courses: the popular Open Water Diver course and the slightly shorter, but not as in-depth Scuba Diver Course.
We offer courses from both PADI and SDI training organisations. Both courses are fully recognised and interchangeable with one another. To find out some of the differences between the two standards organisations see our PADI and SDI pages.
PADI / SDI Open Water Course
The Open Water Diver course is the most popular entry point into the world of diving. The course normally takes about 4 days and is a mixture of learning the basics about diving, learning and practising the basic skills in sheltered water and finally real diving experience with several open water dives to test out your new knowledge and skills.

If you haven’t got a lot of time but you want to start learning to scuba dive, then the scuba diver course is the course for you.
