Another great week lots of fun in the pool the kids requested a DPV and had lots of fun with it , Sean competed his PADI enriched air course and had a refresh session with Bill in the pool. Elara completed her SSI Open water skills with Sal and will be signed off as a SSI Referral diver until it’s warm enough to get back in the water . Completed her SSI Try Scuba with Ian and we hope you enjoyed & perhaps want to do more . Craig now looks ready for his open water dives on his SSI Sidemount course, awesome ❤️

Nautilus Lifeline
The latest version of the Nautilus LifeLine Marine Rescue GPS is less than half the size of the original radio and is incredibly simple to use. Simply undo the latch and open, turn on, remove the red distress cap and press the red button. That's it!

Your GPS position accurate to 1.5 metres and a man overboard distress message will be broadcast to all AIS equipped ships up to 34 miles away as well as a special DSC message to the marine radio on your own vessel (if equipped). The Nautilus LifeLine floats and is waterproof in all sea conditions.

The Lifeline uses user-replaceable batteries (not included) that will last for up to 5 years so all you need to do is keep the o-ring clean and forget about it for the next 5 years!

Please note that DSC transmission is disabled by default for units sold in Europe, USA and Canada but can be enabled via the Android or iOS app when using the unit outside these regions.

Available now & we can post this out if required just message for details .

SSI Perfect Buoyancy Specialty course, running soon helps scuba divers master body positioning, trim, and breath control to hover effortlessly, lower gas consumption, and protect the underwater environment. A great course for those who have just bought their own kit & perfect for winter training as it can be completed in the pool.

Course Overview & Requirements
• Prerequisite: Minimum age of 10 and an SSI Open Water Diver (or equivalent) certification.
• Academic Sessions: Online/home-study digital theory covering buoyancy physics, equipment setup, and environmental awareness.
• In-Water Sessions: includes pool sessions.
• Duration: e-learning and two pool sessions

Key Skills Learned
• Trim and Body Position: Maintaining a horizontal, streamlined posture regardless of whether you use steel or aluminum tanks, a weight belt, or a weight-integrated BCD.
• Hovering & Breath Control: Using lung volume rather than your BCD for micro-adjustments in depth.
• Propulsion Techniques: Learning specialised finning styles like frog kicks, back finning, and helicopter turns.
• Weight Fine-Tuning: Distributing lead properly across your hips or backplate/counterweight pockets for optimal balance

The SSI Science of Diving program is a fully theory-based ("dry") course designed to give you a deep understanding of the physics, physiology, and mechanics behind scuba diving. It is heavily focused on academic mastery rather than in-water skills.

Course Overview & Key Topics
The curriculum is split into five main academic sections:
* Diving Physics: How pressure, volume, and buoyancy change underwater.
* Diving Physiology: How breathing compressed air under pressure impacts the human body, gas exchange, and medical considerations.
* Decompression Theory: The science behind dive tables, nitrogen absorption, and how modern dive computers calculate your limits.
* The Aquatic Environment: Understanding ocean currents, tides, ecosystems, and underwater visibility.
* Diving Equipment: An in-depth look at how your life-support systems (regulators, cylinders, BCDs) function under the hood.

Course Specifications
Metric Details
Prerequisite : SSI Open Water Diver certification (or equivalent)
Minimum Age:10 years old
In-Water Session: None (100% classroom or online study) however we are here to help & review your final exam.
Duration: Roughly 8 to 12 hours of self-study and evaluation
Format:Completed digitally at your own pace via your SSI app

What a difference a day makes ! No wind ! No rain & some sunshine ! Today the trainers were training ! Today’s SSI Sidemount course taught us so much, not just the skills but the way best to teach it going forward. Nothing & no one is perfect but the lessons learned were invaluable . Thanks Bill ❤️
