Details to review before reserving
Bring swimwear, towel and any personal items; rental dive gear and the boat dives are included in the course fee, so you do not need to bring full scuba equipment unless you prefer to use your own.
Complete around 10 hours of online knowledge development before the practical days; you will receive a confirmation email after booking with further details but the course requires a minimum of two participants to run.
Review cancellation policies before reserving.
