dolphin20Diving is an exhilarating, pleasurable and highly rewarding activity which can only be enjoyed safely if you are trained to the appropriate level. The first level of certification is called the Open Water Diver. This is obtained by completing your Open Water Referral, which covers theory and practice in the safety of a swimming pool. The second part is the Open Water Diver which includes 4 dives in open water. You can take your Open Water Referral certificate abroad on holiday as long as you complete your open water dives within 12 months. If you are unsure if scuba diving is for you or if you would like to experience diving without committing to the full course then why not try our Discover Scuba experience.

After completing the Open water diver course there are lots of other exciting courses for you to take, maybe underwater photography - wreck diving - deep diving - the advanced diver course or maybe you would like to take it even further and become a PADI Divemaster or Instructor, the choices are vast and open up a whole new world of adventure, excitment and oppurtunity.
