TWIN SET TRY DIVE

SATURDAY 27th NOVEMBER

We will be running some sessions to allow you to have a go in the pool with a Twin Set on.

Moving on to a different kit configuration can sometimes be a bit daunting, so having a go in the pool is a great way to see if you like the feel of the different kit.

The Try Dive is £50 pp for an hour session

This hour includes kitting up time and practice, whilst learning the very basics of how to deal with the twin tank configuration.

Enriched Air Nitrox Course – Sunday 12th December

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.

To keep our students and staff safe, despite the restrictions being dropped, we will still limit the student numbers on this course to make sure distancing is still possible. We request that you carry out a Lateral Flow test just prior to joining us for the course please, to keep all of our students and staff clear, and we ask that you wear a mask if you can whilst we are in the classroom setting.

PADI Basic Freediver Course Sunday 28th November 2021.

Freediving is about inward power, discipline and control. If you’ve always wanted to enter the underwater world quietly, on your own terms, and staying as long as your breath allows, then freediving is for you. Taking the Basic Freediver course is your first step toward discovering why freediving is becoming a popular way to explore beneath the waves.

To enroll in a PADI Basic Freediver course you must be 12 years old or older. You need adequate swimming skills and need to be in good physical health, and comfortable in the water. No prior experience with snorkeling, skin diving or freediving is required.

You will need to fill out some basic paperwork before the course, and complete the Digital Home study materials before attending the class and pool session.

PADI Drysuit Diver course November 2021

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.

We will be running the PADI Drysuit Diver course in October/November.
Pool Orientation session – Saturday 30th October (morning)
Lake Dives –  Sunday 14th November

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, 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 however it would be great to see you before hand, so you can always pop into the centre before the course to arrange it all, you will need to fill out a short Medical Questionnaire, along with some other standard paperwork.
