No Previous Experience

If you have no existing qualification, then you will be required to undertake our Trainee programme, with the goal of becoming a Diver 2**.  

The trainee program is generally run prior to the start of the Dive season, in the winter months.

• All training is not rushed and is designed to build up water confidence in the trainee under the supervision of one of our Club's instructor.

• The progression is Trainee Diver -> Diver 1* -> Diver 2**

As a trainee you will be under the guidance of an instructor

• Training takes place in three stages, in the pool, shallow open water diving and shallow depth boat dives.

On completion of the trainee course, you will have a Diver 1* Star qualification.
At this point the aim will be to working toward the Diver 2* Star qualification. 

• This will allow the newly qualified  you to dive with non-instructor level divers.

• This also frees up instructors to bring in new trainees
