Courses are run regularly throughout the year or can be arranged to fit your requirements. We are based in Guildford, Surrey so theory sessions can be run in Surrey, central London or at your dive club. Open water sessions are usually run along the south coast in Littlehampton, Lymington, Brighton or Weymouth. If weather conditions mean it is impossible to do open water sessions then courses are also run at Stoney Cove, Wraysbury or the National Diving Centre in Chepstow.

Introduction to Technical Diving
This high level introduction to Technical Diving covers the background to technical diving, routes into technical diving and a description of various aspects of technical diving. It is a great opportunity to decide if technical diving is for you and if so what courses/route you should consider. The introduction can be given in an evening and is free to diving clubs and groups who have a number of members interested in finding out more about technical diving.

Pre-requisites: None

Cost: Free for diving clubs/groups. Ł30 otherwise.

Advanced Buoyancy Control
This one day programme is designed to develop on a divers fundamental buoyancy, finning and streamlining skills thereby making him/her more comfortable, competent and confident underwater. The course includes fining techniques, bouyancy control, horizontal descents/ascents, body trim, hovering and SMB deployment. Two dives are included to practice the skills covered on the course. It can be taken either as a stand-alone development course or as a primer for further technical level training.

Pre-requisites: Open water diver or equivalent, Minimum 18 years of age.

Cost: Ł120 (Ł80 when combined with any other course)

Twinset Familiarisation
This one day course provides the training required for candidates looking to switch from a single cylinder to a twinset. Various configurations, equipment rigging and hose routings are covered. Essential twinset drills such as gas shutdowns are covered and then put into practice during two supervised dives.

Pre-requisites: Open water diver or equivalent, Minimum 18 years of age.

Cost: Ł120 (Ł80 when combined with any other course)

Introduction to Decompression Theory
This half day course is designed to introduce the basics aspects of decompression theory. The course includes a brief history of decompression theory, Nitrogen uptake and release, tissue compartments, saturation, and M-Values. It focuses on the traditional Haldane/Buhlmann approach to decompression but does briefly cover newer bubble models.

Pre-requisites: None

Cost: Ł70 (Ł50 when combined with any other course)

Advanced Decompression Theory
For those wishing to understand more about decompression theory then this one day course includes the history of decompression theory, Nitrogen uptake and release, tissue compartments, saturation, and M-Values. It covers a variety of decompression models including Haldane, Buhlmann, DCIEM, Bubble models, slab models and the BSAC-88 tables. Decompression with gas mixes other than air and accelerated decompression are also covered.

Pre-requisites: None

Cost: Ł120 (Ł100 when combined with any other course)

CPR and First Aid
This course is a Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation and First Aid combined into one program. It is designed to teach divers the proper techniques to safely administer CPR and evaluate and administer the correct First Aid for a given injury.

This course is a Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation and emergency Oxygen administration combined into one program. It is designed to teach divers the proper techniques to safely administer CPR and O2 in emergency situations. The student will be qualified at the end of this specialty to: Evaluate a casualty, provide one person adult CPR and be able to administer O2 to a breathing or non-breathing casualty.

Pre-requisites: Minimum 18 years of age

Cost: Ł80

DPV Familliarisation
This course is designed to train divers in the use of a DPV and familiarizes them with the skills, knowledge, planning, organization, procedures, techniques, problems and hazards of using a DPV in Non-overhead environments.

Pre-requisites: Open water diver or equivalent, Minimum 18 years of age

Cost: Ł100 plus DPV hire and boat/site fees
