Your instructor will assume that you have no advance knowledge of diving and that they will take you through each stage point by point, mixing theory and practice and explaining the details as you go.

The course covers the basics of diving and safety rules. After completing the Basic Scuba Diver course you will be able to dive anywhere in the world to a maximum depth of 12 metres accompanied at all times by a Divemaster or Instructor.
The course itself consists of three knowledge development sessions, three confined water/pool training sessions and then it's on to two open water training dives on our mainland reefs where you have the chance of seeing mantas, turtles, and even little Nemo himself.
