As part of our PADI Specialty of the Month programme in 2018, we will be running the PADI Drysuit Diver course on Sunday 7th October.

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.

Unlike a wetsuit, a dry suit seals you off from the outside water and that keeps you warm! Even in surprisingly cold water.

You will need to do a small amount of home study before the course, then come to us for half a day at the centre to learn how to use the Drysuit in the pool, shortly before we go to the open water qualifying dives. This pool date is to be confirmed.

We will be running the PADI Enriched Air Nitrox Course on Sunday 15th July 2018.

The PADI Enriched Air 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.

The date has not been set just yet as we need to look at tide times and boat availability.

A large proportion of your dives will be accessed by a boat, the PADI Boat Diver Specialty course will equip you with the knowledge of what to expect when diving from boats
