Itinerary / Highlights

Four days on the course with the rest of the time to enjoy at your leisure. This is the schedule for the Open Water course (Please note if you choose the eLearning option on the 6th day you will finish at Midday, and you will have more time with your instructor in the water and less going over theory that you will already have learned).

At the end of the day we usually grab a drink at a local bar to discuss the day's diving and debrief you in a relaxed atmosphere, and complete logbooks and paperwork. This is also an excellent way to learn more about diving by discussing things with our other clients.
