Events at a glance

Saturday 18th June - Chepstow
Darren Hawkins is arranging a trip to Chepstow on the 18th June. Fairly informal but a great way to get some dives in in a nice controlled environment.

The guys are meeting from about 9am onwards and would love it if you would care to join them. Diving from 8m to 80m (yes really!)

£15 for the day and the viz is usually pretty good. There is plenty to see and the underwater layout means that you will see most of it.

Sunday 26th June - Selsey Lifeboat Station
Darren is also arranging a trip to Selsey to Dive the Lifeboat Station

This is a really easy shore dive with plenty of critters to see and if you are lucky you will see the family of cuttle fish!

Its free to park, free to get in and only a short walk from the place where you will park. You can dive as many times as you like and its easy to dive for an hour or more regardless of how good or bad your air consumption is!

Thursday 7th July - Club Quiz Night
Now that Summer is well and truly here its time to finally get in the water and club night is a great place to find some inspiration and a buddy

And what better way to vet your buddy than to check out just how clever they are!

All money raised from the event will go to the RNLI and the winning team gets to hold the Golden Snorkel for the next year.

Any Weekend!
We want to get in a lot more local cheap diving so keep an eye out to see who is up to what.

We will be organising some days out to dive Swanage Pier, Selsey Lifeboat station, Chesil Cove, Chepstow, Vobster and Stoney Cove. We may even venture over to Kent and try out Buckland.

If you fancy organising a trip (which simply entails you telling some people that you are going) then please jump in!

Facebook
There are plenty of people diving regularly with open invites coming from all angles!

Check out the facebook page to see what's going on and when...

Wednesday Evenings - Wraysbury
Don't forget the house reef! There are Wednesday evening dives going on most weeks as well as weekend splashes for anyone who fancies it.

Diver underwater with kelp. Sunlight streaming though

Divemaster

If you love SCUBA diving and want to help others enjoy the hobby that you are so passionate about then becoming a PADI Divemaster will allow you to enjoy the rewards of being a PADI professional.

Minimum Age: 18 Years Old

About the Course

The PADI Divemaster course is hugely challenging and rewarding and will expand your problem solving skills developed during the PADI Rescue Diver program and extend them from accident management and prevention scenarios to supervisory situations with student divers and certified divers.

You will develop:

Exemplary diving skills
Further Rescue Skills
Professional-level knowledge of dive theory
Competence as a certified assistant
Dive management and supervision skills

The PADI Divemaster course has five broad goals:

To develop your knowledge, attitude, judgment and skills for supervising certified divers in shore-based and boat-based diving activities.
To develop your knowledge, attitude, judgment and skills for assisting with training divers in PADI courses.
To develop your knowledge, attitude, judgment and skills for independently conducting specific PADI programs for certified divers and non divers (e.g., Scuba Review, Discover Snorkelling, PADI Skin Diver course).
To develop your dive theory knowledge, water skills, rescue skills and experience to the levels necessary to enter the PADI Assistant Instructor course and the PADI Instructor Development Course.
To promote your growth to meet individual needs and interests, and to meet the dive community's needs and expectations in dive leaders (including risk management, personal health and safety.)

The PADI Divemaster course isn't just about the diving; its about you as a person and will help you in all walks of life.

What's included?

All required study materials, instructor time and pool entry fees. Please note that at this level, you are normally expected to provide your own equipment. If you don't have this, don't worry it's not the end of the world! We can discuss the best option for you prior to you starting the course. There will be a final certification & membership fee payable directly to PADI upon completion of the course.

Cost Options

Divemaster Course: £350 (when comparing prices, please be sure to check what is included)

Before you start: You'll need to be certified to PADI Rescue Diver (or equivalent qualification from another training agency.)

What Next?

Having taken the first step onto the PADI professional ladder, your next stop is to train to become a PADI Assistant Instructor or a PADI Instructor. With either of these qualifications you can choose to 'live the dream' and travel the globe instructing & guiding as you go. If you prefer to keep your feet firmly planted then you can enjoy exceptionally rewarding evenings and weekends teaching like minded people to dive.
