Who are you?
If you have never dived before then the Discover Scuba Diving program
gives you the chance to see what it’s all about and to experience your
first breaths underwater. What’s more if you enjoy the experience and
want to learn to scuba diving we’ll deduct the cost from the full Open
Water course!
Perhaps you have already done a trial dive, or perhaps you have always
known you wanted to be able to scuba dive. Now you want to go on and
learn the skills of scuba diving and gain a qualification that is
recognised all over the world. The Open Water Diver course is for you.
We teach the full range of PADI courses. Whatever your current level, we
can help you develop new scuba skills and gain new certifications. Take
a look at the Course Chart to see where you can go next!
There’s a wealth of opportunity for scuba diving in Jersey, from the
easily (and not so easily!) accessible shore dives, dozens of wrecks,
offshore reefs and trips to sites such as Sark and even the northern
coast of France. See here for a guide to the more common dives sites in
Jersey.
If you are looking for dive buddies drop into the Dive Centre for a chat
and we’ll see if we can match you up with others in the same situation.
Many people’s first experience of scuba diving happens when they are on
holiday, usually in tropical countries. Even though Jersey waters are
not as warm there is still a fantastic underwater world to explore, and
if you’ve been bitten by the scuba diving bug you can have just as much
fun here as you can in more exotic locations. Explore the website to see
what options are available to you, whether it’s going on to learn more
scuba diving skills, experience different types of diving, or just
meeting up with other people to go diving with.
If you are planning a visit to Jersey and hope to get a dive or two in
whilst you are here we can assist. We hire a full range of scuba
equipment and can help co-ordinate your equipment and air fill needs
with any charter dives you may wish to book. Of course there’s plenty of
shore diving as well and we can arrange an escorted dive with one of our
Instructors or Divemasters. See here for information on our Discover
Local Diving program, or here for links to local dive boat operators.
If you want to book a course with us, send us an email or give us a call
and we will try to fit something in with the dates you’ll be here.
There a wide variety of accommodation available in Jersey, but visiting
divers can also take advantage of discounted rates at the Water’s Edge
Hotel here in Bouley Bay. Please give us a call for more information.
Learning to dive before you go on holiday means you won’t be spending
quality diving time in a classroom! It also means mean that as a more
experienced diver you will be more likely to appreciate the diving you
do, rather than thinking about how to dive. If you don’t have time to
complete the whole course in Jersey, you can take the Referral route and
complete part here, for example the classroom sessions or the confined
water sessions, and then the rest when you are on holiday.
No problem! You can use you existing qualification as the prerequisite
qualification requirement for the PADI course that you want to take. See
here for a table of the most common equivalent qualifications.
Alternatively if you just want a PADI certification card that is
equivalent to your current qualification level, you can take a shortened
version of the PADI equivalent course by taking advantage of the
Experienced Diver program.
