*Where should I learn to dive ?

At a registered dive centre/school with qualified instructors and up to date equipment. Ask to visit, ask questions, talk costs nothing.

*Do I need to buy my own equipment ?

At Aquatechnique we supply all the equipment up to and including the Advanced Openwater Course. All you need is swimming attire and a towel.

*What is the size of the teaching groups ?

At Aquatechnique we concentrate on individual learning and pride ourselves on a one to one service. In the pool you can expect a maximum group of three students ( we also cater for larger groups too)

*Will my qualification be recognized abroad?

All our courses are lead body awarded and are internationally recognized. We have a number of ‘partner’ centres which can help you complete your open water course or further your qualifications. These partner centres have been tried and tested by us over many years. Let us know where you intend to holiday and we can pave the way.

*How do I manage the theory element?

In a range of ways, we supply manuals and ask you to undertake a small amount of preparatory reading, any problems and we are only a phone call away. In the classroom we deliver presentations on all modules using the latest teaching technologies, with powerpoint, dvd, cd rom(s), OHP etc.

*Is there an age limit?

We offer a bubble maker course from the age of 8, but at 10 – 15 yrs you can undertake the junior open water qualification. There is no upper age limit, remember you are never too old to try something new!!
