Diving is an exhilarating, pleasurable and highly rewarding activity which can only be enjoyed safely if you are trained to the appropriate level. The entry level Scuba Diving certification is the PADI Open Water Diver, which qualifies you to dive to 18 metres for the rest of your life.

The course is split into two sections, firstly you need to complete the referral course, which covers all of the pool and theory work towards the certification, and gets you to a point where you are ready to complete your four Open Water qualifying dives. You have twelve months to complete the dives, and can do them with us in the UK, or at any other PADI Dive Centre worldwide. The dives will take place in either the sea, or one of the many inland dive sites across the world.

Have you ever wondered what it's like to breathe underwater. If you want to find out but aren't quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course, Discover Scuba Diving will let you try scuba to see if you like it.

While not an actual scuba certification, during the Discover Scuba Diving experience you'll learn how to use scuba equipment in shallow water and get a quick and easy introduction to what it takes to explore the underwater world.

The PADI Open Water Referral course, is the first step in becoming a certified scuba diver. PADI is the most widely recognised and respected diving certification in the world.

The course covers the fundamentals of diving and safe diving practices (you will complete all academic requirements to become an Open Water Diver), demonstrating this knowledge by completing a multiple-choice exam at the end of the course. In the swimming pool, an instructor will take you through all of the confined water dive skills you will need to dive safely and independently.

This part of the program covers your four qualifying dives required to certify you as an Open Water Diver. If you decide to complete this with us in the UK you will be diving with the same trusted group of Instructors and Divemasters.

You will gain a high level of competence as you will be completing your training in more challenging conditions than a typical holiday dive location. When you are on holiday you can therefore be safe in the knowledge that you have the competence to tackle similar conditions abroad.
