Scuba is mostly about just having fun diving - enjoying the marine life and being underwater but we must stress that there needs to be caution exercised as the marine environment for us, as humans requires us to use "Life Support Equipment", and to exercise caution over what we do, how we behave and not to touch anything underwater...
We can and will educate and train you to the highest standards but only YOU can help us to maitain them by being a "Competent, Safe & Caring Diver". We thank you!
Most training agencies offer their entry level program as "International Certification" to dive unsupervised. As Scuba Open Water or Open Water Scuba Diver (These are the same!).
However we (ITDA) offer a wider range and choice based on industry standards and expanding your expierence beyond the normal entry level certification. The normal requirement for many agencies is 4 open water dives and 5-6 pool or confined water practice sessions, plus a basic theory quiz.
Entry Level Scuba
ITDA Offer a unique range of "Entry Level" Diver Certifications from Introduction to Scuba Diving, Day Courses with Snorkelling and Scuba participation e-certificate, valid for 2 years to upgrade to Scuba Open Water Diver or Scuba Open Water Diver+ programs.
