Scuba Skill Update - 25th March 2025

Not dived for a while?
Need to practice before your open water training dives?

With the Ipswich Scuba Skills Update, we will get you back in the water and diving with ease in no time. Our scuba refresher course allows you to review and practice the scuba skills you learned in your Open Water Diver program, under the guidance of a Professional. This is a great course to take just before a dive holiday, so you spend less time worrying about your skills and more time admiring the marine life.

If you are a non-certified Open Water Diver student, a Scuba Skills Update is ideal for practicing your dive skills before your open water training dives. With no fixed course duration, you can take your time and focus on the skills you need help with.

Boost your dive confidence and practice your skills with a Scuba Skills Update.

To book or for more information visit our Scuba Skills Update page or contact us.

Decompression Diver - Starting 12th April 2025

The opportunities to expand your diving adventures have just got bigger!

The SSI Decompression Diving Specialty will teach you how to dive beyond the no-decompression limits. You will learn to plan and conduct dives to a maximum depth of 40 meters with limited decompression using your recreational total diving system and a single decompression cylinder. You will learn and practice how to effectively use your dive computer features, including switching gases, gas integration, time-to-reserve, and time-to-surface. Using these computer functions will become second nature, enabling you to safely conduct dives with limited decompression without hours of dive planning.
