Getting started in diving

OUR ENTRY LEVEL TRAINING COURSES RUN ALL YEAR THROUGH 
CALL THE DIVE CENTRE NOW TO BOOK YOUR PLACE.
STATUS UPDATE 24th July 2020

Swimming pools are open and we are able to run training and try dives at the moment.
​
Try Dive
If you've never dived before and want to find out what it's all about, then why not do a try dive?  We have weekly pool sessions and you will be taken in for a supervised session with one of our instructors.  If you want to arrange for a try-dive as a gift for someone else, we can provide you with a gift pack and voucher to give to them, and then they can call us and book a session. There is no minimum age for a try dive. Try sessions cost £30 and last about 2 hours in total.

We can also run group try dive sessions for companies, groups such as scouts or even as a novel idea for a birthday party.  If you would like to arrange a session, please get in touch.  We are happy to support corporate charity fundraising events too.

Learn to dive
Once you've been bitten by the diving bug, you'll want to become a qualified diver.  We offer training from BSAC, PADI and SDI, and we can help you chose the course that is right for you.  We provide all the kit you will need for entry level diving, including that all important dry-suit so that you will be warm and comfortable in the sea, whatever time of year.  You can relax knowing that all our instructors are well qualified and very experienced so you are in safe hands.  We run courses all year through and guarantee you will train in small groups at a pace that suits you. Minimum age is 12, and there are some medical restrictions.

Pool Training

We have regular pool sessions at the Southern Swimming Pool  in Castletown most Sundays, and in Port Erin at other times.  Please bring with you a t-shirt and your swimming stuff, we'll bring the rest. 

Theory Training
All theory lessons are run in our purpose built classroom in the dive centre.

Open Water Sessions
We use Port Erin quite a lot for sea training sessions. There is nearby parking, easy access and a maximum depth of 10 metres, making this an ideal training site. Open Water Sessions are scheduled around the tide and weather. Our newsletter and Facebook page are a great way to get up to date information about when we are diving.

Come and discover diving in the Isle of Man!
