This course will provide you with the essential knowledge and skills needed to prepare for open Water diving. Learning to dive is all about learning to use your equipment properly and safely. The Ocean Diver training course concentrates on preparing you for this in the safety of a swimming pool or sheltered water and then introducing you to Open Water in a controlled and safe manner. This also gives you the opportunity to practice safety skills in the company of a qualified instructor.
