I did the PADI open water diver course last summer, which was ace! A bit of classroom work then pool work - can squeeze it all in in a weekend. You have to do 4 qualifying dives with an instructor after all that. Sounds like a big effort but it really builds the confidence. Best thing to do if you're serious is do what i did. Do the classroom and pool tuition here in the UK and complete the course with your qualifying dives on holiday - I went to the Red Sea. It's truly amazing and so so relaxing. Hope the info helps. |
