Discover
Scuba Diving
A one day unparalleled sensory experience! If you only
have time for one day of training, or if you're not sure
if scuba diving is for you, Discover Scuba Diving is an
introduction to the underwater world. The day consists
of one pool dive, a brief classroom discussion and a training
dive to one of our shallower dive sites where you will
experience all the amazing marine life that this area
is famous for.
Scuba Diver
PADI's newest course for people who have limited time
for training. It takes only two days to qualify as a Scuba
Diver. If you have already completed the Discover Scuba
Diving course, you only need to continue with a second
day of training to become a certified Scuba Diver. This
will qualify you to dive to a maximum of 12 meters on
supervised dives. The course consists of pool dives, some
classroom discussions, and two open water training dives
to our quality dive sites.

Open Water Diver
This course is what some people refer to as "getting
their PADI license". After this course you will be
qualified to go on unsupervised dives to a maximum of
18 meters. Otherwise known as the "entry level",
many divers start their training with the Open Water Diver
Course. The course consists of four full days of fun and
adventure. By the end of the course you will have completed
five pool training dives, five short classroom sessions
and four open water training dives (two to a maximum depth
of 12 meters and two to a maximum depth of 18 metres).
Adventure Dives
Adventure dives are single training dives in a specific
area of diving and can be completed by any certified diver
from any agency. The dive is supervised by a PADI Instructor.
Choose training dives from an extensive list. For example,
Deep, Navigation, Photography, Fish Identification, Peak
Performance Buoyancy and many more. Each of these dives
can be credited towards completion of the Advanced Open
Water Course. For the complete list of Adventure Dives
and training details, contact us.

Advanced Open Water Diver
Also called "Adventures in Diving". An excellent
way to increase your diving experience is through continued
training. Because of this, you are able to begin your
Advanced Open Water Course on the same day that you qualify
as an Open Water Diver. Our Instructors will continue
to guide and advise you as you improve your diving skills
and your confidence, before undertaking unsupervised dives
of your own. During the course you will complete five
training dives in the same manner as the "Adventure
Dives" mentioned earlier. Two of the dives are compulsory,
these being Navigation and Deep. The other three dives
you can choose from our list of Adventure Dives. The course
schedule can be tailor-made to your needs, therefore,
if your time is short, why not consider completing three
training dives in one day, thus shortening the length
of your Advanced course to only two days.
Emergency First Response
Have you ever wondered what you would do if you were the
only person at the scene of an accident? Could you give
another person basic life support? The Emergency First
Response course is not diving specific, but is for everybody.
It is designed to teach you basic first aid and life support.
The course runs for eight hours, which can be completed
over two or three mornings or evenings. Learn everything
from dressing a wound to giving life-saving CPR. At the
end of the course, you'll have a real sense of achievement
and satisfaction that you have done something worthwhile.
For divers who have no previous medical training and are
interested in undertaking the Rescue Diver Course, the
PADI Emergency First Response course is the first step
in learning rescue diving techniques.

Rescue
Diver
Now we're talking about "serious fun". This
three and a half day course is packed with challenging
and exciting training sessions(in the pool and ocean),
as you learn how to deal with any kind of diving emergency.
It will also teach you more self-awareness while you dive
and how to recognize problems in your dive partners before
they even happen! After completing the PADI Medic First
Aid course, you will begin learning rescue skills such
as dealing with a stressed diver at the surface, progressing
to dealing with a panicking diver underwater, bringing
an unconscious diver to the surface and so on. Your Instructor
will demonstrate each skill and guide you through practice
sessions before you take part in a complete rescue scenario
when you will get the chance to put into effect all that
you've learned ... serious fun!
Specialities and Master
Scuba Diver
We offer a number of specialty diving courses, which will
give you a thorough knowledge of your chosen field of
diving. Choose from Deep Diver, Underwater Naturalist,
Underwater Navigator, Multi-Level Diver, Peak Performance
Buoyancy, Videography and more. Each course has a varying
number of dives that can be completed over one or a number
of days. Training consists of some classroom discussions,
thorough pre-dive briefings and training dives supervised
by a PADI Instructor. Once you have successfully completed
your Rescue Diver course and five specialty courses, you
will qualify to become a Master Scuba Diver, the highest
non-professional level of diving.

Dive
Master
Divemaster is the first professional level of PADI scuba
diving. This course is for anyone who would like to turn
their love of diving into a profession. By the end of
the course you'll be a PADI professional and qualified
to assist instructors, work as a dive guide and many other
diving professional duties. The course can be divided
up into sections and will take at least two weeks to complete.
However, the course is performance based, i.e. it will
take as long as you need to complete all the sections
of the course to a satisfactory level. For example, the
Divemaster theory can be completed by self-study in your
own time. The course also includes sections such as training
to assist PADI Instructors to conduct courses, mapping
a dive site, a rescue scenario, watermanship skills (such
as a swim test) and so on. You will need at least twenty
logged dives to start the course and sixty logged dives
to qualify as a Divemaster. We can arrange additional
orientation dives to allow you to reach this number if
necessary. Why wait any longer? Why not ask us about an
internship for those of you with more time. Make the first
step to professionalism. For more detailed information,
course schedules and required training materials, please
contact us.
Assistant Instructor
If you feel you are ready for more responsibility in your
diving career, and you think that you'll enjoy teaching
people to dive, or maybe you just want to be well prepared
for your Instructor training, then the Assistant Instructor
course is ideal for you. This course takes 5-6 days, but
similarly to the Divemaster course, you can start studying
the course theory in your own time. You will need to brush
up on your Divemaster theory as re-taking and passing
the Divemaster exams is a pre-requisite to this course.
Also, the Divemaster confined water skills circuit will
be reviewed. The course is divided into sections such
as confined water teaching presentations, open water teaching
presentations and classroom teaching presentations. At
the end of the course, you will be qualified to carry
out duties such as assisting PADI Instructors, teaching
and certifying students of the Peak Performance Buoyancy
Specialty and independently teaching some other course
skills to students. You will also be very well prepared
to go on to complete your Instructor Development Course
(IDC) and become a PADI Instructor. For more detailed
information, course schedule and required training materials,
please contact us.

First
Aid for Hazardous Marine Life Injuries

but most divers experience minor discomfort from time
to time. This course teaches divers to minimize these
injuries and reduce discomfort and pain. It also provides
knowledge on specific types of injuries and the general
first aid treatment for them.
Oxygen
First Aid for Scuba Diving Injuries
As a recreational diver, you can receive training to provide
vital first aid that can make a difference to a scuba
diver with decompression illness. The DAN Oxygen Provider

and management of possible diving-related injuries using
emergency oxygen first aid
