Diving courses

Scuba-Bay is a RAID authorised training centre. Courses follow a clear sequence: you start with Open Water 20, go deeper with Explorer 30 and Advanced 35, and reach professional level with Master Rescue and Divemaster. Specialty courses such as Nitrox sit alongside this sequence and can be taken at any stage.

The theory is completed at your own pace on RAID's online platform, and the in-water training is scheduled with our instructors. Course dates are arranged individually: let us know when suits you and we'll put the programme together with you.
