All courses currently being advertised are subject to us being open as per the restriction easing update announced on 22nd February.

Extend your diving season! If you want to stay warm and toasty, feeling comfortable in cooler water, you will want to dive in a dry suit.

All going well, we will be running the PADI Drysuit Diver course in May.
We have a couple of options for the pool sessions, we can do 1-to-1 sessions with students, so we have allocated a few pool times.

Unlike a wetsuit, a dry suit seals you off from the outside water and that keeps you warm! Even in surprisingly cold water. This will greatly extend your diving season here in the UK, you can also comfortably go and play with the Seals off of Lundy or the Farnes!

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, we can do all of this whilst the shop is still closed to the public as per current regulations, the course can be paid for via BACS, we will then send you the code for your home study, with instructions how to do this.

We will also be running the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course on Sunday 9th May, we will be doing the Peak Performance Buoyancy Dive, the Navigation Dive and the Search & Recovery Dive towards your Advanced certification.

In order for this course, and the others scheduled for Sunday 9th May, we need 4 students booked between the 3 courses that we are planning on running.

All going well, we will be running the PADI Wreck Diver course on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th July.

Whether sunk on purpose as an artificial reef, wrecks open fascinating windows to the past. Most divers find wrecked ships, aeroplanes and even cars/trucks nearly irresistible. They are intriguing to explore, and usually teeming with aquatic life. The PADI Wreck Diver course teaches you the ins and outs of rewarding, responsible wreck diving.

The water temperature in July is usually around 7-8 degrees at 30m. For thermal protection, we recommend you are comfortable in a drysuit for this course. We will be running the Drysuit course in May/June and early July.

If you want to take both the Wreck and the Deep course, we will need to go up for three days from the Friday.

At the moment, the dive site is requiring booking for entry into the site. We will need to do this ahead of time, book early so that you don’t miss out.

First Aid Course – Emergency First Response June 2021

All courses currently being advertised are subject to us being open as per the restriction easing update announced on 22nd February.

All going well, we will be running the Emergency First Response FIRST AID course on Saturday 19th June.

First aid and CPR are good skills for anyone to learn especially those involved in adventure sports – just in case. Learning these serious skills as a family can be fun but could prove very important.

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.

During the course you will learn:

• Primary Care (CPR)
• Secondary Care (First Aid)
• Emergency management and equipment
• Recognising and assessing illness and injuries
• Incident management

You will need to do a some 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, we can do all of this whilst the shop is still closed to the public as per current regulations, the course can be paid for via BACS, we will then send you the code for your home study, with instructions how to do this.

If you are planning on embarking on the PADI Rescue course, this First Aid course covers the requirements, if you are a Divemaster whose First Aid has lapsed due to the last year of lockdowns, this is a great time to refresh ahead of the new dive season.

To keep with the current restrictions at the date of publishing, we will need to limit the student numbers on this course, why not learn as a family!

All going well, we will be running the PADI Enriched Air Nitrox course on Sunday 20th June.

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.
