Learn to Dive
At Dive HQ our first concern is for your safety. Scuba Diving is not a hard activity to become comfortable with, but it is very important that you acquire the necessary skills to enjoy your dives. At Dive HQ we specialise in presenting the underwater world safely, informatively and in a friendly and fun environment.
During your PADI Open Water Course you will spend approximately one quarter of your course time in the pool, another quarter in the classroom learning diving principals and techniques, with video and audio-visual presentations. The remainder of the course covers the four open sea dives, swimming with marine life and as much or as little excitement and adventure to suit you!. It's called learning to dive by doing just that, DIVING!
Dive courses can be moulded to fit even the busiest of schedules: you could spread your course over a number of evenings, weekends or even consider taking the home-study option. On completion of your course you will graduate with an internationally recognised Open Water Dive qualification that will enable you to dive anywhere in the world.
