The PADI Scuba Diver course is great if your time is limited or you’re not sure whether to go for the full open water course right at this moment. At the end of this course you will be certified to dive to 12m with PADI Pro and well on your way to becoming an Open Water Diver.
The Scuba Diver course is split into three sections: theory, pool modules and open water dives. The theory sections are based on home study allowing you to learn at your own pace. The modules are supported and reviewed by sessions with an instructor who can explain any areas in more detail. During the three pool modules you will learn the skills to dive safely. Following the successful completion of the theory and pool modules, the two open water dives are held on a Saturday morning allowing you to demonstrate the skills that you have learned in safe natural environment.
The open water dives are completed, weather permitting, along the North East Coast, or alternatively an inland site or during weekend trips to the West Coast of Scotland.
Why choose the diving centre?
We have some of the best facilities in the country. With our onsite heated pool (30 degrees), classrooms and large car park, there isn’t anytime wasted going between the shop and local swimming pools. We also use only high quality and well maintained diving equipment in the school, with separate kit for pool and open water training. We are also the longest running diving centre in the area with over 35 years membership with PADI. Our instructional team are highly experienced and passionate about diving.
We make it our goal to train in the sea and not in fresh water. We also encourage our students to continue with us after their course with reduced rates for kit hire, warm water diving holidays and an active social scene.
Also with our own pool we can tailor the course to any individual or groups needs from 1-1 tuition or large groups such as schools.
With every Open Water course you also receive 10% discount if you purchase a mask and snorkel from us. You can book your course below or alternatively you can pay for the course in our online shop under PADI COURSES
