You've always wanted to take the scuba diving plunge, your friends are always talking about it and your best mate keeps raving about his amazing dive trip to The Red Seas. But, how do you start this adventure? Who's out there to baptise you into the sport? Active Diving offer a range of lessons to start your scuba diving course.
The skill of being able to dive, survive and actually enjoy the underwater experience can be a life-long learning curve, by taking part in a scuba diving course you will be able to learn the basics of the sport whilst in the safe hands of a qualified instructor. The beginning of the process is an incredibly rewarding experience from your first dive.
To allow you a taste of the sport, scuba diving agencies have designed the Try Dive, Resort Dive or Discover Scuba Dive. These courses are usually over one or two days and teach you a few diving skills needed to safely introduce you to the underwater world. During these early diving days you will be kept at a limited depth.
Your first venture below the surface as part of your scuba diving course is one you'll never forget. Your body submerges like a submarine on a mission; the water and air bubbles disorientate you as the light intensity decreases. All you hear is "breath, slow down, relax". You soon come to realise that these are not easy things to achieve. There is so much to look at! You will be amazed at how the buzz of spotting your first moray eel jutting its pointed snake-like head out of a rock crevice will remain a life time memory.
To enjoy your scuba diving course experiences and make sure you remain safe, it is strongly recommended you complete the scuba diving course with a certified diving school. These courses are designed to teach you to survive while breathing underwater, understand and know how to use your dive equipment and protect and respect the marine environment.
The general pecking order of dive training gets going with the 3-4 day Open-water course; Specialities, Advanced Diver, Rescue Diver, Dive Master, Assistant Instructor, Dive Instructor and Master Scuba Trainer courses follow this.
Dive training is organised by a number of international certification agencies, the most popular being PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors), BSAC (British Sub Aqua Club)and SSI (Scuba Schools International).
These dive courses not only provide you with the skills to survive underwater, but you are also awarded with a certification or C-Card. The C-card is important proof of your qualification and reputable diving centres will need to sight this before signing you up on their dive trips.
