Other Important Information You Need To Know |
| |
Like all training courses where certain levels of performance are required to pass it is important to realize that you must reach the required levels of proficiency for each aspect of the course in order for the instructor to certify you, (just like on a driving test). If you fail to achieve the required standards we will endeavour to give you the opportunity for further training, however this would incur additional cost.
Participants under 16 years must be accompanied on the course by a parent or legal guardian.
All participants are responsible for their own transportation arrangements between the dive centre and either the pool or the respective dive sites used during this course. |

Gaining your Rescue Diver qualification is quite an achievement, and shows your commitment to diving and your fellow divers.

Or If you wish you can concentrate on specialist areas of interest, and upon gaining 5 such specialty ratings and with a minimum of 50 logged dives, plus Rescue Diver means you can apply for the prestigious Master Scuba Diver Rating Certification, the highest non-professional level within the PADI system.
