Nervous? Excited? Scared? Unsure?
We know how you feel when you first think about doing your dive course. Remember we were there once! At Dive Picton we empathise with those emotions and do everything we can to make sure you feel safe and comfortable in the water so you can leave feeling proud, enthusiastic and part of a whole new world.
We like to think we won’t just teach you to dive we will make you a diver. At Dive Picton we don’t believe in fast courses we believe in thorough training adapted to the individual needs of the student.
"Great course. At the completion I felt totally confident in mu underwater albities."
Try Scuba
Still unsure you want to commit to the entire learning course? Just give it a go in the pool, or combine the pool with an Ocean dive and try it out for yourself. Our own indoor, custom built, heated dive pool gives you plenty of time and privacy to find out what scuba is all about. We have these experiences booked every week so talk to us about trying scuba diving today!
"Really loved diving, definately recommend it to all. The instructors make you feel totally comfortable and relaxed!"
Open Water Diver
The first step to gain a qualification in scuba diving is the Open Water Diver Programme. This gives you the knowledge and skills necessary to be safe in the water. Consisting of approximately 4 days or 4 evenings and a weekend, this allows you to dive anywhere in the world with a buddy up to a depth of 18m.
