Please be aware that prior to taking part in any of these PADI dive courses a medical questionnaire will have to be completed! If you answer yes to any of the questions,  please make an appointment with your doctor! Make sure to obtain a  medical release before coming to avoid disappointment!

Take a look below and see which of these PADI dive courses suits you best!

Bubblemaker

For those who are not quite 10 years old, but have  reached the age of 8 or 9 we offer a Bubblemaker experience! The  Bubblemaker experience is not quite one of the dive courses. It is more like an hour of fun in the pool with one of our instructors! Yes, they actually will be wearing real dive  equipment! We will  be blowing bubbles under the water,  playing games such as finding treasures, racing and learning underwater  hand signals!

PADI Discover Scuba Diving

The PADI Discover Scuba Diving is a four hour introduction to  diving! Perfect to give it a shot and see what it is like to dive, whithout having to commit to one of the dive courses!  After a short theory and pool session, you will be taken on a dive to a maximum depth of 40 ft! On successful completion of  this trip you are NOT certified, but you are allowed to join us  on the majority of our trips!

Bert Kilbride (founder of Kilbrides Underwater Tours) received  the ‘NOGI’ award for sports education for inventing the resort  course, now known as the PADI Discover Scuba Diving  experience, in 1987. Bert and a select group of people including  Jacques Cousteau all received the award for scuba diving.

PADI Open Water Course

After successfully completing the PADI Open Water course you are  certified for life and allowed to dive anywhere in the world! This  course, which takes about 4 days entails self study with the manual and DVD. Then we will test your  knowledge. We will then take you in the pool to teach you all you  need to know and get you comfortable in the equipment. Lastly, you have  to complete four open water dives on which you will demonstrate mastery  of the previously taught skills and explore the underwater world.

Open Water Referrals

If you don’t want to do all the work on vacation you could do some at home and finish with us!

In the first option you will do the theory and pool work at home with your local dive shop! When you come on vacation all you have to do is complete your 4 open water dives with us!

You can also do your theory on-line with  PADI e-learning and when you come on vacation you will do the  pool work here and complete the 4 ocean dives!

PADI Advanced Open Water Course

The next step up! Now you know how to dive, it is time  to fine tune your skills! What way better to do this than to take the  Advanced Open Water course! Learn how to navigate under the water,  identify fish and their families, fine tune your buoyancy, go that  little bit deeper and much more, all under the watchful eye of your  instructor! After completing the relevant theory parts in the book, you  will go and practise on the 5 required dives that you just read  about!

 Emergency First Response

Not really one of the dive courses but a one day land based course. The Emergency First Response course will prepare you on how to handle real life emergencies, taking a look in greater depth at CPR, First Aid and scene analysis.

PADI Rescue Course

Before you have been taught to look after yourself. In the Rescue course you will learn how to identify situations and help others you are diving with. Before starting the Rescue course you must have a valid First Aid certificate, which we can teach you here if necessary. You will have to complete the required theory, then you will be taught in shallow confined water and get to practise the skills in role played scenarios to pass your evaluation.

PADI Divemaster Course

The PADI Divemaster Course is the first professional level in the PADI hierarchy! Once a PADI divemaster, you will be allowed to guide certified divers on their underwater tour.

This course entails indepth study of dive theory, such as how diving affects our body, the physics of diving, equipment and environmental awareness. You will be taught how to assist in dive courses and how to guide and help other certified divers.
