Can I have a trial lesson before I decide? If your not sure, we suggest you have a  Discover Scuba Diving session. The sessions are conducted in groups of two. It's the perfect way to experience the feeling of weightlessness and the excitement of breathing underwater for the first time. The sessions take place in heated pools at Hornchurch or Loughton Leisure centres and last for just under two hours, during the session you will spend approximately 1 hour in the pool scuba diving with your instructor, you start in the shallow end then progress to the deeper end as your confidence increases.   Book here   Prices

How Do I Start? You can start Today! You can book online or just phone 01992 815960 or mail@scuba-dive.co.uk and we will arrange for you to come down to the pool for your first session.

First Session Your instructor will guide you through scuba equipment assembly and then help you take your first breaths underwater!  During this session you progress from the shallower to the deeper water as your confidence and skill levels increase.  After the pool session you will review diving theory. 

Rest of the course You will complete the in-water training and practice and perfect your buoyancy skills during the next sessions.  After each session you will review the theory and then complete the academic training by sitting quizzes and exams. On completion of the course you receive the referral certification card which is valid for up to 12 months. You can then complete the qualifying Open Water dives whilst on holiday abroad or here in the UK.

Certification Once you have completed the Open Water course you will be a fully qualified diver and awarded a certificate and identification card which confirms your level of training.  This qualification is recognised world wide and allows you to dive with other qualified divers anywhere in the world.

When is it and where does it take place? Sessions take place Tuesday Evenings at 8pm & Saturday afternoons at 2pm at the Hornchurch Sportcentre swimming pool and Sunday evenings at 7pm  at The Loughton Leisure Centre swimming Pool.

How long does the course take?  Each session is just over 2 hours, plus there is some reading  to complete at home. The course is designed to be completed 1 module at a time, however everybody learns at different speeds and it may take you more than one session to complete a module, this has been factored into the course and we do not charge extra if you require extra sessions. 

How much does it cost: You have a choice of two courses, Scuba Diver referral, 3 modules, £179 or Open Water Diver referral, 5 modules, £239.    Open water qualifying dives cost approximately £35 per dive.

What is the referral Option? Essentially This option allows you to complete the entire course at your own pace in the comfort of our heated pools. Once you have completed the referral option you have completed all pool training modules and all the academic modules, passed the quizzes and will receive your referral certification allowing you to complete the Open water qualifying dives within twelve months with another PADI dive centre anywhere in the world. After the referral option you may decide to complete the dives with your Sublime instructor either on a Holiday to the Red Sea or even here at a Dive site local to you. 

Are there any restrictions? A declaration of fitness form must be completed prior to the first pool session. The experience is for anyone over 10 years of age.
