There are 5 booking levels which cover recreational diving with progressions through to elite squads for talented divers.
Children must be confident in very deep water (4m) or have passed stage 4 on the new national plan for teaching swimming.
Teen lessons (11 – 15 years) Tuesday, thursday & Sunday
There are 3 levels (Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced) which covers recreational diving with progressions through to competitive squads for talented divers.

Children’s lessons (5 – 11 years)
Assessments will take place on week 5 of the course. After the assessment children will be issued with a re-booking card that will inform them of what level class and day they need to book into for the new course.
If you wish to change the day of your lesson you can do so after the final lesson of the course. This is to give the divers already attending that day the opportunity to re-book first.

Adult and Teen lessons (12 – 15 years)
As there is no formal assessment day movement up to the next level can take place at any point during the course. In order to do so the coach of the class will complete a pass sheet and you will be contacted with details of your new class and a start date.
