Introduction

Duration: 2 days (plus self-study)

The Scuba Diver course is a fantastic way to achieve an internationally recognised scuba diving qualification, allowing you to dive with an active and professional Dive Guide down to 12 metres and to change the way you view your future holidays. What’s more, it represents about 50% of the Open Water course, so if you decide you want to continue to complete the Open Water training at another time, you’re nearly halfway there!

  • Three knowledge development sections.
