OPEN WATER DIVER COURSE
The open water diver course for 12year olds upwards,consists of approx 30 hours training spread over evening class work followed by evening swimming pool sessions to develop the practical skills needed to dive safely.
After the academic (at Forest School Horsham or at Steyning and pool sessions (at Steyning Leisure Centre) you complete the course with 4 open water dives possibly at Horsea Island. This helps you to put into practice the skills you have learnt. The waters in Southern England offer fantastic diving opportunities, but if warm blue water diving is for you, and feel diving in the UK is not favoured, then take the referral course.

Location description: The worlds marine life is extensive and varied depending on where you go scuba diving. Probably the most well known to the general public are the Coral reefs, these offer some of the most colourful scuba diving to be experienced- many reefs are like swimming in a tropical fish tank
Most of the reef diving is relatively shallow waters, typically 3 to 15 metres, so you don’t have to go deep to get the best views. Recreational scuba divers can dive to a maximum of 40 metres under the PADI qualification system.

There is much more to see than coral reefs, there are lots of different underwater seascapes, just as there are lovely places to visit above land. For example in Tenerife the sea bed is very grand and impressive, created by volcanic action. There are very rugged rock formations to explore, drop off’s, over hangs and crevices to see. The Red Sea offers fantastic coral reefs and all the brilliantly coloured fish that inhabit the reefs, these fish sleep at night, but are replaced by the night shift, so diving at night time offers another opportunity.
It may seem frightening at first to dive at night, but you will be surprised at how much you can see, the sea world is illuminated by your torches and the experience is second to none.
Night diving is very popular once you have gained your confidence after a period of day diving. Of course some divers never go night diving, they prefer the day time scenery.
All over the world ships have sailed and also met their plight. There are thousands of ship wrecks scattered world wide, many of them safe and shallow enough to be visited by qualified divers.

Wrecks are very popular for various reasons, you can experience the feeling of seeing an impressive wreck under water, it offers a special feeling to those who visit them.
Marine life is nearly always in massive numbers on wrecks. The wreck offers habitats for a full range of life from sponges, corals, weeds and fish of all types. Wreck diving can offer a fantastic selection of visual opportunities not to be forgotten.
Wrecks range from small craft perhaps 20 ft long to large ocean going ships 400 ft long. Some are upside down some are upright and intact (most impressive type), others are very broken up by wave and tide action, and resemble a pile of old rusty plates.
There is some brilliant diving in the UK. Some areas are known to offer good diving and clear seas, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall are very good locations as are Scotland, Wales and Ireland. I regularly dive off the south coast around Brighton, Shoreham and Newhaven. The waters are not often that clear, but do offer an abundant marine life population, just waiting to be discovered. There are so many aspects and types of scuba diving, you will most certainly find a niche where you fit in. Some divers only scuba dive once a year whilst on holiday, others dive every weekend and travel extensively to do so. It`s up to you!
