Learning to dive in Plymouth is an awesome experience. There is a certain amount of theory, pool work, and skills to complete in the sea before you can gain your qualification. But before you start your course you have to decide which route you would like to take as you do have a number of options:
At the start it can sometimes be confusing trying to work out what you need to do, but the most common, cheepest and popular way to start diving is by doing the PADI Open Water Diver Course. This course is split over 4 days and involves both shore and boat diving. For those that want a little bit extra you can elect to do the PADI National Geographic Diver Course, this shares many similarities with the Open Water Course, but includes additional tuition on navigation and buoyancy, with surperior materials, and an extra dive (5 instead of 4) to put these skills into practice.
Aquanauts also offers Referral Open Water courses for those that are going on holiday and wish to complete their pool and theory training before they go. This is good for those divers that which to make the most out of their time on holiday and limit time stuck in a classroom while abroad. But please be aware that you will only be qualified to dive in conditions equal to or better than where you learnt, so to dive in the UK you will need to do some UK training. Please call us for details.
