Improve your skills at Unidive
Diving underwater is fun and being comfortable underwater is even more fun. But to be comfortable underwater you need to be fit and get diving experience. You can get diving experience by conducting lots of dives and/or by getting more advanced training. Independent instructors (PADI, SSI, BSAC or other) offer education and training at UniDive to help you keep up your skills and learn new skills.
Past courses were: Refreshers, Advanced Diver, Rescue Diver, Dive Master, Nitrox Diver, Reef Check Surveyor,O2 Provider, CPR, First Aid, Dry Suit, Underwater Photography.
Other activities: Weekly pool training, free diving (contact Gavin Bott), presentation on marine biology and marine conservation, and techniques (e.g. free or technical diving), and UniDive Diver of the year event.
