Fitness & Health

Anyone with an average level of fitness and health can enjoy scuba diving.

However, some heart, breathing and lung problems (such as asthma) could rule out your participation.

Before enrolling onto a PADI training course you would need to complete the PADI Medical Questionnaire and answer 'YES' or 'NO' to each question.

BSAC Ocean Diver

The BSAC Ocean Diver course provides you with the essential knowledge and skills needed to prepare for open water diving.

Learning to dive is all about learning to use your equipment properly and safely and the BSAC Ocean Diver training course concentrates on preparing you for this in the safety of a swimming pool (Ocean College has its own specifically designed dive pool) or sheltered water (one of the Ocean College schools is based in Naama Bay) and then introducing you to open water in a controlled and safe manner.

The Ocean Diver course also gives you the opportunity to practice safety skills in the company of one of our qualified instructors.
