Boat Diver
If you’re new to boat diving or want to learn more about diving from different types of boats, enrol in the PADI® Boat Diver course.
During two dives with an instructor you’ll learn nautical terminology, boat diving etiquette and may practice using lines and/or deploy a surface marker buoy (SMB).
Most of our PADI Speciality courses are very personal experiences often on a one-to-one basis with one of our award-winning team, if a suitable date isn’t shown below, please call the office on 01243 202200 to discuss arranging a suitable date.
At a first glance this course may seem to be expensive but please do be put off as it includes two escorted boat dives valued at over £80pp.
