An open water course lasts you
for life, there are no renewal fees.
You need to be fairly fit to dive with a positive mental attitude and realise that diving in the UK needs a certain amount of 'roughty toughtiness.'
Minimum age of 12 years for a full open water course in the UK and 10 years if you do the open water referral.
You must complete a medical declaration before learning to dive. Please advise us in advance if you have any medical conditions or are taking medication.

7 Easy Steps to becoming a PADI Open Water Diver
You can start off with a "Try Dive" if you want to. This is a short session in the swimming pool under the guidance of a PADI Professional to see if you like it. This is PADI Discover Scuba Experience. Dates and prices on our course schedule and course detail page.
If you are confident you want to learn to dive, you can start by going straight into the PADI Open Water certification course or you can do this after your Try Dive.
The PADI Open Water course allows you to dive with a buddy, but independent of a dive professional to a maximum depth of 18m in an environment similar to or better than the one you learnt in.
You need to be able to swim 8 lengths of the pool and tread water for 10 minutes, and you do need to be reasonably fit to handle the equipment and kitting up. A bit of roughty toughtiness and a positive attitude is needed.
If you dont want to do the open water dives in this country, you can do an Open Water Referral where you complete your theory and pool here, but complete your open water dives at another PADI Dive School in warmer waters.
