This is our favourite course to teach, introducing Scuba Diving to the complete beginner. We have been working with all of the major British Tour Operators since almost day one. Our Dives take place from the beach, and are conducted in the sea in a buoyed off area. This course operates daily and 'photos and dvd's' of each dive are available to view and buy.
