First steps

Learning to
SCUBA dive

If you have never experienced Scuba Diving you are in for the treat of a lifetime. Swimming effortlessly as you glide through the water with just the flick of a fin, being weightless underwater, then realising you can still breathe normally as you watch an underwater display of unbelievable beauty.

You can begin experiencing the thrill of Scuba Diving from the age of 8, with our Bubblemakers Programme. You can become a Junior PADI Open Water Diver from 10 and a fully fledged PADI Open Water Diver from the age of 15.
