Friday 5th, Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th July 2019.

Do you want to feel more comfortable at depth, do you enjoy the idea of visiting deeper wrecks taking in the history and scenery?

Dive with confidence at depths to 40m, by taking the PADI Deep Diver Specialty course. Learn to assess reasons for going deep, the dive objective should be clear.

We are running a weekend at N.D.A.C in July to get the full benefit of the Deep course. We can dive right to the course max depth to ensure that you get the full experience of a dive to 40m.

Due to the water temperature at 40m, you will need to be drysuit trained, and comfortable in the drysuit, to make these dives.

We will also be running the PADI Wreck Diver course over the weekend alongside the Deep course.

If you wish to take both the Deep and Wreck course you will need to be with us for three days, meaning we will start the dives on Friday, but only if you are doing both courses.

If you want to take only one of the courses you will need to be available for the Saturday and Sunday, we start early so best to get up there the night before.

N.D.A.C – The National Diving and Activity Centre – at Chepstow is the perfect place to take these specialty courses. There are lots of wrecks to learn on, with lots of interesting places to explore on your deep dives. Both the Deep and Wreck specialty courses require four dives each, which need to be spread out over two days, so we stay up for the weekend, to make the most of your time up there.

Transport, accommodation and food is not included in the course fee.

Four divers needed for the course to run.

As part of our PADI Specialty of the Month programme in 2019, we will be running the PADI Self-Reliant Diver course on Sunday 19th May.

The purpose of the Self-Reliant Diver specialty course is to recognize and accept the role of the buddy system and its contributions to diver safety while identifying and developing self-reliance and independence while diving.

You will develop your skills of planning and carrying out dives without a partner when preferred or necessary, sharpening skills of diving self-reliance, making the diver a stronger partner in a dive pair or team.

“Challenging” and “rewarding” best describe the PADI Rescue Diver Course

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

Our next PADI Rescue Course will be running over the weekend of the 30th and 31st March 2018.

Most divers cite the Rescue course to be the best course they took, whilst serious and testing, you will learn so much to improve your dive skills, and learn to look out for your fellow dive buddies.

We don’t like to think about it but accidents happen, rescue training expands your knowledge of diving, increases your dive skills, and makes you more aware of what’s happening around you. The course helps you recognize and respond to potential diving emergencies in the unlikely event that they should occur,

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.

Our next Emergency First Response course will be running on Sunday 24th February.
