Why not turn your dreams into reality. Learning to dive has never been easier and accessible to so many. Providing you are in reasonably good health and can swim 200m, you too can qualify as a PADI Open Water Diver, and the Red Sea is the ideal place to learn. Only 5 hours from the UK you can find some of the most vibrant and pristine reefs in the world, with year round crystal clear, warm waters, and of course, plenty of sunshine.

We can offer a variety of courses tailored to suit your own individual needs. The PADI Open Water course earns you a certification that is recognised worldwide and gives you the freedom to dive with a buddy, independent of a professional to a depth of 18m. You can choose whether to take the 5 day intensive course, or make the most of the diving opportunities by completing part of the study before you go.

THE PADI OPEN WATER COURSE (5 days)
A 5 day intensive course combining knowledge development sessions, confined water exercises and 4 open water dives. Throughout the course you will learn the fundamentals of scuba diving, including dive equipment and techniques.

PADI EXPRESS/FASTRACK COURSE (3 days)
We send you a video and book or CD Rom enabling you to study the theory at home. On arrival at the dive centre you will complete the final exam and the confined exercises and open water dives in 3 days.

PADI REFERRAL (2 days)
You can study the theory and confined water exercises with a PADI Instructor in the UK, and complete your 4 open water dives in 2 days.
If you want to take the plunge, but don’t have enough time to complete a course there are a number of programs that may suit you.

PADI DISCOVER SCUBA (1/2 day)
This is a chance to try out scuba diving – you will either watch a video or be briefed by an Instructor, and you can strap on your gear straight away for a dive with an Instructor to a depth of 6m.

PADI DISCOVER SCUBA DIVING (1 day)

This course allows you to experience the trill of diving under the supervision of an instructor. During the short course you will master some basic concepts and skills before heading off on an open water dive to a maximum 12m.

PADI SCUBA DIVER (3 days)
If you want to be certified, but don’t have the time for a regular course this program could be for you. This subprogram of the Open Water Course allows you to get certified quickly and easily by minimizing time constraints. You will then be qualified to dive under the direct supervision of a PADI professional.
After the PADI Open Water Course, you will probably find yourself wanting to learn more and more about the underwater realm, and there are plenty of courses to keep you busy.
