What does the course involve?
The course is very flexible and can be
spread over as long or as short a period
as you like. The theory part involves the child reading through the manual a chapter at a time. After each chapter the child would then come to the classroom and watch a DVD that explains the chapter in more detail. We then work through any issues the child may have. The session finishes off with a mini test of 10 question. Once again depending on the age or ability of the child we may do one or two chapters per session. Once we have completed the knowledge reviews the next step is to go to the pool and start the fun part - diving !! In the pool we learn and practice the basic skills required before we can go diving. All groups are kept
small, usually a maximum of 4 people, ensuring personal attention at all
times. (See profiles of our instructors
to get a feel of how we will look after
you). If you are still unsure of any aspects
of the course then our instructors are
available to assist during the week if
you need it.
The second week end will involve a trip to the lake on Saturday and Sunday where we can practice the skills you have learned and have an enjoyable dive at the same time !
Class Sizes
To ensure that all students are looked after properly, pool class sizes rarely exceed 4 people. In addition to the Instructor there will also be a certified assistant. This way we can ensure that all students receive the care and attention that they need. When courses are advertised as having room for 8 people please note that this will be split into two groups in the pool, each with its own instructor
