Basic Diver

Cost: £225

The Basic Diver program is a quick and easy way to experience the world of scuba diving before you become an Open Water Diver. You will have the opportunity to explore weightlessness and meet some of the incredible marine life at the Selsey Lifeboat Station shore dive. If you do not have the time to commit to complete the full Open Water Diver course, or just want to experience the underwater world this is the programme for you.

The programme consists of several elements to help you prepare for exploring the underwater environment at Selsey.

During your confined water session we will start with a safety introduction then under the water we go! Your Instructor will help you get comfortable in the equipment, as you learn your total diving system, gain confidence, and teach you the required skills for your open water dive.
