PADI Scuba Diver Upgrade Course Dates
For anyone completing the PADI Scuba Diver Upgrade or PADI Scuba Diver (Referral) Upgrade courses, the Knowledge Development and Skills Development sessions are conducted over two weekends as shown below.
For those completing the PADI Scuba Diver Upgrade course with us, you’ll complete one additional pool based drysuit session before your Open Water dives if you’ve never used a drysuit before. The open water dives take place over one day – normally a Sunday (midweek options may be available on request).
The full list of scheduled course dates for 2019 is shown below.
We aim to be flexible with our schedules so we can meet your needs. Get in touch to discuss your options and to arrange a tailored course to meet your needs.
