Discover Paradise

There are times in life when it is necessary to shake off the physical restraints of every day life and slide into the blue Mother ocean that brought forth all life, slipping into the womb of creation, an area less understood than space.

Effortless, relaxing, tranquil, action-packed, adrenaline-filled, adventurous, life changing or even extreme – scuba diving can be all this and much more.

Diving is more than just a sport or activity. It is an adventure, a destination, an experience. Diving can take you to tropical islands, exotic beaches, abundant coral reefs. Diving will inspire you to travel, to learn and to experience--to think beyond yourself. Diving transports you to another world, and allows you to truly be one with nature.

There are many options for you to choose from when experiencing diving. You can begin by taking a "discover scuba" session, which is a basic pool dive, or go one step further and take a "discover scuba diving" session, which includes a shallow sea dive. These are not full certification courses; they are only designed to give you an introduction to this exciting sport.

If you wish to progress further in the sport, professionally trained staff at your local diving retailer can work with you to find the best way for you attain the necessary qualifications. They will prepare you, instruct you & get you certified for whatever type of diving you want to participate in - from recreational diving in waters surrounded by brightly coloured fish and sealife, to exploring a new shipwreck off the coast or a small island in the middle of the ocean. Your local diving retailer can make it happen for you, and most have a variety of courses running throughout the year.

Going on vacation and want to get in some diving while there? Thinking of getting certified, but don’t have the time for a regular course? Consider taking an abbreviated training course, commonly referred to as a resort course, which is perfect if you only plan to dive a couple times a year with a certified instructor.

Caught the bug? Want to dive wherever & whenever you want to? An open water diving certificate is recognised world-wide, enabling you to explore the beauty of the underwater world down to 60 feet, wherever you are without instructor supervision. What’s more, your certification never expires. This course will provide you with a lot of fun as well as the knowledge and skills necessary for safe, enjoyable diving. Your instructor will enable you to progress with ease and comfort through pool and classroom sessions and four open water dives.
