We will be running the PADI Underwater Navigator Diver course on Sunday 8th June 2025.

It can be quite stressful in poor visibility underwater, improve your observation skills and learn how to use your compass more accurately underwater to find your way.

You will develop the techniques involved in navigating underwater within recreational limits while avoiding disturbing delicate marine life.

Build your confidence, save air and save energy.

We recommend taking the Navigation course before embarking on the Rescue course, it helps greatly with search patterns.

During your dives you will learn about:

• Methods to estimate distance underwater
• Natural navigation techniques
• Compass navigation while making at least five turns
• Underwater navigation patterns

You will need to do a small amount of home study before the course, this is all now done with the digital PADI home study eLearning material. You don’t need to come to the shop to get the course arranged and access your digital home study, this part of the course can all be arranged via email, of course we are more than happy to see you if you prefer to pop into the shop as you will need to fill out a short Medical Questionnaire and some standard PADI course forms. We will then send you the code for your home study, with instructions how to do this.

The water temperature in June is usually around 15-18 degrees for your thermal protection information, at this time of year you can use either a Drysuit or a wetsuit, it is your decision.

Enriched Air Nitrox Course 18th May 2025

We will be running the next Enriched Air Nitrox course on Sunday 18th May 2025

Scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression dive time. This means more time underwater, especially on repetitive scuba dives.

We all want to stay longer on that reef or wreck, it isn’t always our breathing rate that brings us up before we want to, often we still have plenty of air left but our No Decompression Limit (NDL) brings us back up.

Learn how diving with air that has higher oxygen and lower nitrogen content gives you more bottom time, you’ll learn that there are equipment considerations when using EANx. The PADI Enriched Air EANx Certification course gives the knowledge and skills to dive with Enriched Air mixes up to 40% O2, within recreational scuba limits.

During your classroom session you will:

• Discuss managing oxygen exposure
• Practice analysing O2 content in your tank
• Set your computer for diving with enriched air nitrox

You will need to do a small amount of home study before the course, this is all now done with the digital PADI home study eLearning material. The time spent with us in the classroom will be going over the practical part of the analysis procedure of using Enriched Air for diving.

Learn how diving with air that has higher oxygen and lower nitrogen content can give you more available dive time, you’ll learn that there are equipment considerations when using EANx. The PADI Enriched Air EANx Certification course gives the knowledge and skills to dive with Enriched Air mixes up to 40% O2, within recreational scuba limits.

You will start with your Home Study, by reading all of your tablet/pc based eLearning material at home at your own pace. You will learn about many different aspects of diving theory, equipment, safety, skills, and what to expect during your course. Then you will come to us at the Dive Centre to carry out the short classroom session, then into the pool for your skills training.

You don’t need to come to the shop to get the course arranged and access your digital home study. This part of the course can all be arranged via email. The course can be paid for via BACS or credit card. We will then send you the code for your home study, with instructions how to do this. Of course however, it would be great to see you before hand, so you can always pop into the centre before the course to arrange it all.

You will need to fill out a short Medical Questionnaire, along with some other standard paperwork. You do this via email or in person.

Our Professional and friendly Instructors and Divemasters will make sure that your journey to becoming a qualified diver is the fun and stress free adventure that it should be.

You need to be able to swim to learn to scuba dive:

There will be a water stamina test on the first day at the dive centre comprising of a 200m swim and 10 minute float/water-tread, please note that you need to complete this swim and float comfortably.

Open Water and Drysuit Combination

If you are intending to dive in the UK, you will need to learn how to use a Drysuit to allow you to stay warmer for longer in the cooler waters of the UK. If you do your Open Water Diver course with us in the earlier and latter parts of the year, we will only take you in the water in a Drysuit due to the water temperature. We offer a huge discount off of the PADI Drysuit Diver course when you take it alongside your Open Water course. Please see the Packages page, this is the Open Water UK Diver Combination Package

If you would prefer, you can complete your qualifying dives on a holiday you already have booked. You can do the Classroom and Pool section of this course here in the UK, and complete the qualifying dives on your holiday. This saves spending days of your holiday in the classroom. This is called the Open Water Referral Course. Follow this link to find out more about this option.
