NEXT PADI OPEN WATER COURSE STARTS:

Escape, explore, experience...

Escape to a different world.   Scuba takes you to a different world with new colours, shapes, textures and creatures - a world where the roles you play - husband, wife, mother, father, friend - take on a new dimension. Become a scuba diver and escape to a peaceful place to renew your energy and excite your senses.

Explore new places. Scuba diving frees you to explore the underwater world - from historic shipwrecks and pristine reefs to the mysteries of your local quarry. Become a scuba diver and explore what you've been missing.

Experience a connection with nature; a feeling of freedom, and a transformation. Diving connects you with nature. It immerses you in new sensations and experiences. It transforms your perception of life forever. Become a diver and transform yourself.

Got a disability? That needn't be a barrier, we offer instruction under the Handicapped Scuba Association, contact us to see how we can help you experience the fantastic freedom of the weightless underwater world.

DISCOVER SCUBA DIVING - SHARE WITH FRIENDS & FAMILY

Would you like to discover scuba diving? Are you already a diver and would like to introduce your partner, colleagues, best friend or kids to diving?

Book a Discover Scuba session and be introduced to the feeling in a swimming pool first, in a controlled environment. If you're a certified diver bring your gear and come along for a splash while your friends or family give it a go!

Discover Scuba is a good option for boosting the confidence of those who are nervous about the prospect of learning to dive, or unsure about whether they will like it or be able to learn the skills... In a Discover Scuba they can try it in a one-to-one, calm and friendly environment.

We can do a one-to-one trial dive or why not get a group of several friends together?

Need a refresher, buddy or a dive guide?

New or just visiting the area? Qualified overseas or need a refresher? We can provide complete dive guiding or refresher services. We'll be your buddy, run through some skills, provide advice and/or accompany you while you and a buddy build your diving confidence.

Many people complete their dive course, get certified but still prefer to dive with someone with a bit more experience. This is also a great time to consider some specialty qualifications while being accompanied by a trained professional. Go to buddies...

Once you're qualified and confident, we'll buddy you up with others with similar interests and complementary styles of diving.

You'll have a fantastic time learning to dive, you'll meet new people and catch the 'bug'. Let us help you keep diving and develop a group of buddies you can dive with on an ongoing basis.

STRUGGLING DURING YOUR DIVE COURSE?

Do you have trouble clearing or removing your mask? Or are you struggling with mastering the amount of air to put in your BCD to fin-pivot!? We can help you by providing one-to-one lessons, a calm, unhurried, friendly environment and infinite patience. We have an excellent success rate and a big bag of tricks to help anyone who finds learning to dive a challenge.

Don't miss out, diving skills can easily be mastered with some professional help and your own determination. It is definitely worth persevering and the pay-off is the achievement of mastering a new sport and enjoying the extraordinary wonder of the underwater world.

Specialising or going-pro?

I like to specialise in ongoing diver education. As well as teaching specialist areas such as underwater photography, wreck diving, deep diving and others. We have qualifications under the Handicapped Scuba Association to teach disabled people to dive and under DAN to teach oxygen instruction.

In addition to the basic scuba course and many of the specialty courses, we mentor and coach individuals looking at going professional in the sport. Talk to us about on-going training including the Divemaster program.

In our opinion there is no greater pleasure for those with a passion for scuba than becoming a Divemaster. This will open whole new avenues and opportunities for you, become a dive guide, work your way around the world and achieve hero status in the eyes of newly converted scuba junkies!
