PADI Deep Diver July 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 PADI Deep Diver course on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th July.

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.

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.

The water temperature in July is usually around 6-7 degrees at 40m, for thermal protection, we recommend that 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 Deep and the Wreck course, we will need to go up to Stoney Cove early on the Friday to dive for three days to complete all of the necessary dives.

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 we don’t miss out.

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.

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!
