Developing your diving skills further allows you to explore deeper underwater safely. This course focuses on mastering essential techniques while extending depth experience to 30 metres for standard divers or 21 metres for juniors.
The course consists of five open water dives at approved local sites. Instructors will guide you through deeper dives while reinforcing essential safety techniques, navigation skills, and dive planning.
Each dive builds on the previous, gradually increasing your competence and confidence underwater. Emphasis is placed on maintaining control, managing air efficiently, and practising buddy communication.
Upon completion, you’ll be prepared to dive safely at extended depths and ready for further advanced courses or recreational diving adventures.
Open water dives take place at local dive sites including Capernwray quarry, Ellerton inland lake, and Beadnell Bay shore dives. Each site has safe entry points, facilities like showers and changing rooms, and conditions suitable for improving divers.
Instructors ensure you gain hands-on experience in realistic conditions, allowing you to practise skills at greater depths and experience diverse underwater environments.
You must be at least 12 for junior divers or 15 for standard participants. Prior open water experience and basic diving skills are required to benefit fully from this course.
Your instructor will assess your ability and adapt guidance to your skill level, ensuring you safely progress to deeper dives while building confidence and competence.
Instruction is hands-on and personalised, focusing on deep water skills, safety, and confidence-building. Instructors make learning challenging yet enjoyable.
Structured dives at multiple local sites help you gain experience in varied conditions. You’ll leave the course with the skills and knowledge to safely dive deeper and take on further courses or recreational dives.
