Underwater Navigator 3 dives £150
When you're underwater, knowing where you are and where you're going comes in
handy, especially if you're looking for a particular reef or wreck. This course will help you become a pro at finding your way underwater and over the dives you build up to completing a route with at least five different compass headings in it. During the course you will learn about:

4. How to use underwater patterns
5. Compass navigation techniques
Nitrox (Enriched Air) £75
This course teaches you the preparation and procedures involved in diving with enriched air (up to 36% oxygen). Enriched air contains less nitrogen and this allows you to stay in the water longer, get back in the water sooner and you may even feel less tired after a days diving!
Peak Performance Buoyancy 2 dives £100
If you want to fine-tune your buoyancy, soar over reefs, extend bottom time by reducing air consumption and prolong the life of your dive equipment, this course is for you. Over two dives you will practice and learn more on:
1. The correct positioning and distribution of weight for comfort and desired body position in water
2. How to establish neutral buoyancy any time during a dive
3. How to fine-tune for neutral buoyancy underwater
4. How to hover in mid water
Search and Recovery Diver 4 dives £195
Have you ever dropped something in the water? Are you looking for lost treasure?
The PADI Search and Recovery Diver Specialty course will teach you effective ways to
find objects underwater and bring them to the surface. During the course you practice searching for different objects and using lift bags to bring them to the surface.
Project AWARE. No dives (theory based) £50
The Project AWARE programme is designed to familiarise divers, and non divers, with the plight of the world's aquatic systems. It describes what we can do to protect aquatic resources and looks at various issues including the importance of coastal ecosystems, concerns of fishing and marine pollution. There are no dives in this programme, making it ideal for all those interested in the marine environment.
Wreck Diver 4 dives. £195
The lure of exploring sunken wrecks is something most divers can't resist. This course introduces you to wreck diving and helps you develop the skills and knowledge necessary for safe and fun wreck diving.
