You’ll learn how to use basic dive gear, control your buoyancy and move about underwater.

You’ll also learn some basic safety skills and how to plan and manage your diving.

The course includes six theory modules, at least five sessions in a pool or sheltered water, and at least four open-water dives.

The Qualification

Your qualification will be recognised worldwide.

You will be qualified to dive to a maximum depth of 20 metres and use breathing gas mixtures of up to 36 per cent Nitrox to increase your safety on dives (you’ll learn all about Nitrox on the course).
