Not long until we will be in the Grenadine islands diving in the warm water next to all sorts of marine life (including Sharks!!!). We have many diving courses during these upcoming weekends, training people in the Cardiff, Swansea and Newport areas, preparing them to be able to participate in these amazing life changing experiences. After years and years of diving it never gets old, its always new and exiting. The PADI Open Water qualification is recognised around the world and holds high prestige. The world is your oyster being a diver, the deep blue is accessible with these skills and who knows what you will see. Its a relatively easy skill to acquire also with one pool session, a theory test and four open water dives being part of the course and you will have that qualification for life and can use it anywhere in the world, just from a few sessions in the South Wales area.

We have marine biology students from the university in Cardiff and Swansea lining up for the course now, knowing that it will give them the advantage in their competitive field. The will gain valuable experience making them more employable.

We have already had years of satisfied customers and all of our instructors are still ready and raring to teach their knowledge base to keen individuals and will then employ their skills for their own benefit in a few months in the Caribbean.

Following the preliminary training in Hebron Hall, Cardiff, for the PADI Open Water Course, the students are getting ready to complete their qualification after they're four open water dives in South Wales on the weekend of the 20th and 21st. These dives include an open water assessment of the skills they learned in a pool environment, such as mask and equipment skills, along with a navigation section and buoyancy control. As instructors we have been training in order to make sure we ourselves are fully prepared for their safety. This week we have been to Newton in Porthcawl where we updated our first aid and lifesaving skills which involved advanced oxygen tank usage. Will all this training done we are sure that the upcoming schools and activities will run smoothly. The Cardiff and Swansea schools are also displaying a keen interest and have been enquiring into the PADI Open Water qualification. Hopefully this means that we will soon have many more prospective students wishing to learn this qualification from us. Its a good season for scuba diving.

September is upon us and with it brings more new prospective divers to us. The team has been hard at work in Hebron Hall, Cardiff, today teaching a new group the PADI Open Water Diving Course. With the pool session compleated which outlined the fundimental skills of diving e.g. mask skills, dive kit, reg skills, boyancy, and compleating they're theory test which gives the comprehensive information on diving, they will all be certified open water divers after theyre open water excursion on the 20th and 21st.

At the end of this month we will be training a few skilled and interested individuals in the PADI Rescue Diver course in Cardiff, Swansea and across South Wales. Which will set them on the path of becoming a Dive Master once they have gained the nessesary experiance.
