At SCUBA ZONE we train divers for PADI diving courses in London using the PADI system Professional Association of Diving Instructors), the world's largest diver training organisation. Your PADI qualification will be recognised worldwide... more than any other diving qualification.

SCUBA ZONE trains people on PADI courses in London from beginner right up to professional status providing every student with tuition from the diving industry's most highly qualified Instructors. Our beginners are of utmost importance to us. Your first impressions and memories of the underwater world will be lasting ones...   we want them to be fantastic!

As a beginner you will train to become a PADI OPEN WATER DIVER.
This qualification will enable you to dive around the world with a buddy (friend/partner) of the same or higher standard, to a maximum recommended depth of 18 metres.

SCUBA ZONE keeps classes small to ensure optimum learning, individual attention and most importantly, maximum safety. Our course will teach you all the essential skills needed to SCUBA dive, to become familiar with the equipment and understand what happens to your body underwater. This course has great emphasis on safety, not only for yourself but also your diving buddy.

PADI OPEN WATER DIVER COURSE:
The course is divided into three parts which are all very flexible to suit all lifestyles but did you know
you could now start diving TODAY?

CONFINED WATER DIVING
This is where the real fun starts - where you actually GO DIVING! This part of the course is conducted at our heated swimming pool (near Baker Street, W1) Here, under the guidance and supervision of Instructors, you will learn and practice dive skills and procedures. This part of the course involves 5 dives and takes one day or two evenings. Make your decision and you can be breathing underwater TODAY!

KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT
Once you have decided to start the course we give you a manual and video to watch and study in your own time and at your own pace, this establishes the principles and basic information all divers need to know to enjoy comfortable, safe diving. The manual and video are split into five modules with knowledge reviews (homework) at the end of each. Once you have completed manual Module 1 (1.5 - 2 hrs approx.) or watched Module 1 of the video (30 mins approx.) you can then start diving!

In the unlikely event that you have difficulty with any aspect of the manual or video your Instructor will be only too happy to help either by phone, email or in person. At the end of the course we require you to have completed all five knowledge reviews and watched the video in full.

Once these two parts have been completed you are now two-thirds of the way through the course and you may complete the rest of the course anywhere in the world - under the 'REFERRAL' option.

OPEN WATER 'REFERRAL'
This option is becoming increasingly popular. After completing the CONFINED WATER DIVING and the KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT sections of the course, you may then complete the OPEN WATER DIVES abroad, in over 200 countries worldwide at another PADI dive centre. This means precious holiday time is not wasted in classrooms and swimming pools and you can go diving in the ocean immediately!

OPEN WATER DIVES
The final part of the course involves four dives in the ocean or sea (sometimes in lakes but always with the right equipment so you won't get cold!) Again, under the supervision of an Instructor, you will complete the course by applying, adapting and further developing your knowledge and dive skills in the real diving environment. This part is also very flexible and is usually conducted over two days at the weekend whenever you would like to complete the course.
ONCE THESE THREE PARTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED YOU
ARE A CERTIFIED DIVER!
