Ocean View would like to announce that they now have 4 of their own INON UK instructors who will be running the Level One Underwater photography courses throughout 2020 here at the Dive Centre.

We are proud to announce that Natasha has been published in Diver Magazine this month, with an article about her experience taking these courses. She has gone on to become an Instructor for Inon UK.

Don’t miss your chance to get some amazing insights to achieving much better results from your underwater photography.

INON UK’s Level One underwater photography course is considered the most comprehensive beginner’s to intermediate program available. It is designed to show you how to take high quality underwater photographs consistently. Our INON UK instructors do this by showing you simple rules to follow that remove the element of luck from taking pictures under the water. It is suitable for divers using underwater compact, compact system and DSLR cameras.

INON UK’s Level One underwater photography course shows you how to take great pictures ‘in camera’. If, like many divers, you thought you would always have to spend ages ‘fixing’ your underwater pictures later in Photoshop, this course will change your mind. The INON UK Level One course blends learning essential theory with mastering practical skills topped off with developing hands on underwater photography experience. As a minimum the INON UK Level One underwater photography course includes six theory lessons and two training dives. Each training dive is followed by an extensive debrief of each students achievements.

As part of our PADI Specialty of the Month programme in 2019, we will be running the PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Diver course on Sunday 8th December.

The PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Diver course is PADI’s most popular specialty scuba diving course, and it’s easy to see why. 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.

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 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 Saturday 19th October 2019.

First aid and CPR are good skills for anyone to learn, especially those involved in adventure sports – just in case. The Emergency First Response course meets the necessary First Aid training required as part of the PADI Rescue Diver course.

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.

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.
