Open Water Diver

 

  0161 223 5102

The course consists of three elements Theory Lessons, Sheltered Water Lessons (pool) and Open Water Dives. You will be taught basic scuba theory in our classrooms at the dive centre. Once you have learned the theory the practical lessons begin in the safety of the swimming pool, here you will be introduced to the scuba equipment you will be using throughout your training .

When you have mastered the drills in the pool your instructor will introduce you to the world of open water diving. You will receive help and guidance as you progress through the lessons and will be given a qualification record book to keep track on your progress.

The two ways people complete the Open water diver are to either do a 'referral' which means you do the pool and theory in the UK and then finish the outside dives off abroad. Or, the way most people learn, is to do the full course over here which means completing the referral first (open water 1) then you will go on to dive in the open water over two days (arranged at a mutually convenient time during the referral course) and do the open water 2 course. The reason most people do the full course with us is in this course you will be taught how to use a drysuit, this means rather than learning in a wetsuit abroad and then having to 're-learn' certain skills when you get back you are ready to dive at home or abroad. Its not as cold as you think in the UK with appropriate thermal protection.

In terms of when the courses run you have two options you can either do the pool and theory over two Sundays or evening courses. Because the weekends are much more popular the dates for these can be found at the bottom of the page. Evening courses are run over four / five weeks, our pool session is on a Monday from 7.00pm to 9.00pm and the theory evening is run any other evening but Wednesdays seem quite popular. These courses are run on request for two or more students. The outside Open water dives are arranged during the course at a mutually convenient time.
