Course Content
Unlike many other facilities that offer this course, we include an extra days theory, making the course consist of two days theory and two days diving. The extra day's theory allows for you to go away and process what has been covered on the first day, before applying that knowledge in a number of workshops. These workshops allow you hands on experience at equipment configurations (we will try and bring along as much 'ideal' kit as possible for you to look at and/or play with!) and dive planning (including a variety of dive planning software for you to try), as well as a chance to ask any questions you may have from the previous day. Theory is normally held at one of the Scuba & Outdoor Pursuits Facilities and dives are normally completed at Stoney Cove. Both aspects can be completed at any other location, please contact us regarding availability and costs.
