In more detail

Wreck Diver  A 2 day course with 4 dives, during which you will map out, navigate around and safely penetrate a couple of our wrecks.

Deep Diver  The emphasis is very much on safety and planning on this 2-day, 4-dive course.  The 1st days dives are to a maximum of 30 metres, and the 2nd day to 35 metres.  An ideal way to be introduced to more advanced diving while in the company of an experienced Instructor.

Boat Diver  2 dives in 1 day off our 5.8 metre RIB, to show you some basic guidelines to follow when diving from a boat.

Enriched Air  Over 2 days, we teach you the theory of Nitrox diving, and how to plan no-decompression dives using a PADI Nitrox RDP. 2 dives on Nitrox finish off the course.

Underwater Naturalist  A 2 day course, which teaches you in very basic terms how to recognise what something is when you see it underwater - once you start to look, you'll be amazed at the marine life there.  1 dive each day gives you the opportunity to practice 'spotting' things.  We also collect a few specimens to have a look at under the microscope after the dives.  Jen is a 'Seasearch' Observer Tutor, and sometimes runs courses in conjunction with each other.

Dry Suit Diver  A 1 day course teaching you the theory of dry suit diving, followed by 2 dives to put it into practice.

Peak Performance Buoyancy  2 dives in a day, both of which involve lots of practice at controlling your buoyancy - a very useful skill!

Multilevel Diver  This course teaches you how to plan and carry out 2 multilevel dives using a computer or the Padi Wheel.

Underwater Navigator  3 Dives, during which you develop your navigational skills underwater, ensuring that on future dives you can always find your way back - or at least know you are not where you should be!

Oxygen Administration  A 1 day classroom based speciality, which teaches you how to administer oxygen to a diver in a medical emergency.

Extended Duration Speciality  2 dives in one day of approx. an hour long each.  You learn how to plan long no-decompression dives, and make the most of the air in your cylinder.
