Safety first

Your safety is important so if you would like to scuba dive, you'll need to complete a medical history form. You may also need a physical check-up. If you're over 45 years of age or have a previous medical condition, please bring a doctor's certificate confirming that you're fit to dive. Whether you can or cannot dive, will be entirely at the discretion of your qualified instructor whose main concern, at all times, is your safety.

Please ensure you check the PADI Medical Statement here to ensure you do not have any 'Yes' answers that may need a medical doctor's advice and signed approval before you can join any scuba diving course. Upon successful completion of your pre-booked dive course, there will be a PADI processing fee of £25 for your certification card. This is not included in the pre-book price.

Booking courses

PADI dive courses in the Mediterranean resorts can be pre-booked in the UK. All courses booked in resort are subject to local taxes, and are therefore more expensive.

Manuals and certificates

Manuals are mandatory for all PADI courses and can be purchased in resort. A certification fee may also be applicable for your course.

Additional information

You can come and see the Indepth Dive Team at the pool or at the dive centre near the Beach Bar to get more information about the fun you can have underwater this summer.

All courses run through childcare times for adults. You will always be back in time to pick up your children.

Padi Scuba Review

If you’re a certified diver and it’s been a while since your last dive, then the Scuba Review programme is for you. It will reacquaint you with diving and allow you to brush up on your skills without having to take an entire course. This is a PADI recommended course to anyone who hasn’t dived for 6 months or more.

Course Content

The Scuba Review course starts with a self-study workbook for you to read through and complete. The workbook is then reviewed with a member of our team and a short quiz is taken. After the theory is complete, you’ll review your diving skills with your guide in the pool for about an hour, giving you a chance to re-familiarise yourself with the essential skills of diving. Following that, you’ll enjoy a beautiful and tranquil dive in the Aegean Sea with your Indepth dive guide.

Upon completion of the training programme, your logbook will be updated for verification purposes.

Course Duration: 3 hours
