Build your confidence and learn the skills you need to step up if an emergency situation were to ever happen by taking the Emergency First Response First Aid course.

 

Learn how to turn yourself into the best buddy, increase your safety, recognise problems before they occur

Our next Emergency First Response course will be running on Sunday 17th April 2022.
First aid and CPR are good skills for anyone to learn, especially those involved in adventure sports – just in case.

If a member of your family was taken ill, or a fellow diver had an emergency, you will be able to step up and help them, knowing you can help those you care about is a reassuring feeling.

This course is open to anyone, you don’t need to be a diver to need First Aid skills.

 

The Emergency First Response course meets the necessary First Aid training required as part of the PADI Rescue Diver course.

As a pre-requisite to the Rescue Diver course, you need a valid First Aid certification, taken within the last 24 months, the Emergency First Response course meets the necessary First Aid training required as part of the PADI Rescue Diver course.

If you are a rescue diver who’s First Aid course was over 2 years ago, you will need to do an update, so why not join us on the next E.F.R course.

Calling all Divemasters, when was your last EFR course? Don’t forget to do the refresher to keep your DM rating current.

Peak Performance Buoyancy Diver Course May 2022

Posted on April 29, 2022

PPB May 2022

We will be running the PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Diver course on Saturday 14th or Sunday 15th May.

Mastering neutral buoyancy means controlling where you are in the water, you glide effortlessly over coral reefs, taking in the beautiful aquatic life whilst ensuring that you don’t disturb or damage it. Buoyancy control means longer dive time due to reduced air consumption.

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 or phone, 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 it would be great to see you, so you can drop into the centre to arrange the course as well.
ou do however have to turn up in person for the dives 😉

 

The water temperature in May is usually around 10-12 degrees, we recommend you are Drysuit trained before taking this course for thermal protection, but you can decide if you can handle the water temperature in a nice cozy 7mm wetsuit, that’s up to you.

Underwater Navigator Diver Course July 2022

Posted on April 29, 2022

Navigation July 2022

We will be running the PADI Underwater Navigator Diver course on Sunday 10th July 2022.

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

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, we will then send you the code for your home study, with instructions how to do this.

You will need to fill out a short Medical Questionnaire before any in water sessions, if you have had Covid, advice from local dive doctors is to stay out of the water for 30 days from first diagnosis, if you have no problems, after 30 days we can revisit the medical form and go from there, however if you have complications, see a doctor.

The water temperature in July is usually around 16 degrees for your thermal protection information, at this time of year you can use either a Drysuit or a wetsuit, it is your decision.

PADI D.S.M.B Diver Specialty June 2022

Posted on March 10, 2022

DSMB June new

PADI D.S.M.B Diver Specialty June 2022

We will be running the PADI Delayed Surface Marker Buoy Diver during May and or June

The pool session is on Sunday 29th May (pm), the qualifying lake dives will be held on Sunday 12th June.

Surface Marker Buoys should be an integral part of your scuba dive gear. They are an important piece of safety equipment, every diver should own one.

The purpose of the DSMB Diver specialty course is to give you the knowledge and skills to safely deploy your DSMB/SMB, to know when and where to use it, and to give you a chance to practice these skills in a safe environment rather than on your first boat dive, which could cause problems.

Surface Marker Buoys serve a range of purposes. They are used to:​

  • Allow shore cover / boat support an ascending diver​
  • Allow boat crew to keep track of buddy teams on a drift dive
  • Alert boat traffic to the presence of a diver​
  • Provide a visual reference and line for ascending divers

We will be running the PADI Self-Reliant Diver course on Sunday 29th May and Saturday 12th June 2022.
