If you want to learn to dive, extend your experience or even become an instructor we can help. The club has a number of qualified instructors who can provide training. Our training is club based – we are only able to train club members and our instructors teach on a voluntary basis and are not paid. If you want to dive with us, we’re happy to help, if you want to learn for your next tropical holiday, it’s probably better for you to learn there (or find a commercial school here – we can advise you about this if you want).
This year our Ocean Diver course costs £200 and our Sports Diver course costs £90. This covers course materials, pool sessions (if relevant) and annual kit hire. You will still need a mask (goggles), hood, gloves and a drysuit, and will need to pay for entry to training sites.
Of course if you learn to dive on holiday and decide you want to try UK diving come and see us!
