The Deal

With a choice of course at IANTD Ireland, divers of all abilities can build on their existing scuba skill set. Complete beginners can undertake a three-hour introduction at Tallaght Leisure Centre which, under the guidance of experienced instructors, allows participants to get to grips with the basics, from using the equipment to carefully maneuvering underwater. Alternatively, more experienced divers can try their hand at specialising with a more technical type of dive. During the night diving workshop, divers will be shown how to safely plan their descent, with the opportunity to trial different types of torches. Meanwhile, the certified wreck diving course enables divers to develop their cavern diving skills using suitable risk management to avoid dangerous situations. Finally, the open water diving course covers theory, equipment configuration and dive planning. Students will undertake up to six open water dives and training pool sessions so that, by the end, they are qualified to dive to a maximum of 21 metres in sea water.
