PADI Open Water Course June 2026

Saturday 6th and Sunday 7th – Pool and Classroom

Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th – Lake Dives

The Open Water Course is your introduction into the underwater world.

Whether you are interested in the explosive kaleidoscope of colours within a beautiful coral reef, or the rusting metal of a wrecked military cruiser, the PADI Open Water Diver Course is the world’s favourite way to get there.

Have you ever wondered how it would feel to be weightless? Do you want to find out what your mates have been going on about all this time? Sign up to the Open Water course to learn.

You will start with your Home Study, by reading all of your tablet/pc based eLearning material at home at your own pace. You will learn about many different aspects of diving theory, equipment, safety, skills, and what to expect during your course. Then you will come to us at the Dive Centre to carry out the short classroom session, then into the pool for your skills training.

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. You do this via email or in person.

Our Professional and friendly Instructors and Divemasters will make sure that your journey to becoming a qualified diver is the fun and stress free adventure that it should be.

To do the lake dives at this time of year, you can use either a wetsuit or Drysuit, you can take the Drysuit Course alongside the Open Water course.

Open Water and Drysuit Combination

If you are intending to dive in the UK, you will need to learn how to use a Drysuit to allow you to stay warmer for longer in the cooler waters of the UK. If you do your Open Water Diver course with us in the earlier and latter parts of the year, we will only take you in the water in a Drysuit due to the water temperature. We offer a huge discount off of the PADI Drysuit Diver course when you take it alongside your Open Water course.
