Wreck Diver

Redsea Wreck by Kitty Jempson

Wreck diving can be exhilerating and extremely exciting. UK wrecks have an abundance of life on them, and around Plymouth with our rich maritime history, we have more of them than pretty much any where else in the world. We teach this course so that you can learn the skills to safely dive UK wrecks and even penetrate into them if you want. You will learn how to plan and organise a wreck dive, correct techniques, anti silt finning, and how to lay line so that you can safely penetrate. However if you prefer to stay on the outside of a wreck then we can still cater for you as going inside optional.

We mostly use 2 of the larger wrecks in the area. HMS Scylla and the James Egan Layne, both are renouned as 2 of the country's top dives.

Have a look at the requirements below and official details from PADI.

 

Nitrox Speciality

One of our most popular courses, if you keep running out of bottom time and have plenty of air left then this is a must do course.

 The PADI Enriched Air Diver Specialty course introduces you to the benefits and hazards of using more oxygen, dive planning and the use of nitrox tables.

 

Deep Diver

The Deep Diver Specialty course offers you the opportunity of a lifetime - going deep to see thing others can only dream about.

 You'll learn deep dive planning, organization, procedures, techniques and hazards. You'll also put this knowledge to the test as you go on three open water dives that range from 18 - 40 metres / 60 - 130 feet.

Shore Diver

Our very own Distinctive Specialty. A great course to convert you to UK diving if you were trained abroad, and for those more adventurous divers who want to plan dives affected by tide and current

 The PADI Shore Diver Specialty course introduces you to the use of charts and tide tables in the classroom and then put in to use planning two dives either at slack water or by determining the depth before you go.
