The PADI Twin-set Diver course gives you the opportunity to dive with 2 cylinders for extended dive times. We will be running this course in October/November 2022.

Classroom and Pool Session: Sunday 30th October – start time 1pm

Lake Dives: Sunday 13th November – Wraysbury

Why use a Twin Set?

Diving with a twin-set (2 tanks banded together) has several benefits. If you want to explore this new route, and add an exceptional skill to your diving, learning how to use a twin-set safely is very important, taking the PADI Twinset specialty course is the best way to achieve this.

Having more available air is always a huge benefit. Having that in a set up that allows you to have a redundancy is a huge safety step. The average twin-set has the ability to shut one of the tanks off should you need to.

The purpose of the PADI Twin-set course is to familiarise yourself with the use of a twin-set. It will take you through the advantages of using the twin-set, the components of the set and how to best utilise them for you. You will learn how to manage your gas usage and plan your dives to safely dive with a twin-set.

The water temperature in November is usually around 10 degrees, we recommend you are Drysuit trained before taking this course for thermal protection.

You don’t need to come to the shop to get the course arranged and access your digital home study, we can arrange it over the phone or via email, or you can pop into the centre to book this and sort out all of your paperwork. 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.

Due to water temperatures in July, we still advise you to be drysuit trained, particularly the Deeper dives. However if you want to do these dives in a wetsuit, it is your choice.

PADI Rescue Diver Course July/August 2022

“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 on Sunday 17th July and Sunday 14th August 2022.

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 Saturday 9th July.

Enriched Air Nitrox Course – Saturday 18th June 2022

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.

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 if you don’t want to, this part of the course can all be arranged via email or over the phone, the course can be paid for via bank transfer or credit card, we will then send you the code for your home study, with instructions how to do this, of course if you want to pop in and say hello it would be great to see you.
