    DIVING AS AN OPTION AT PORTSMOUTH


    UNIVERSITY
    Yes, you can learn to Scuba Dive as an
    Option during your time here at Portsmouth
    and you could gain credits in the process!
    Triton Scuba is your local PADI Training
    Centre and is approved by the HSE and the
    University to conduct PADI diving training.
    You may qualify for credits but can only do so
    by taking your training through an approved
    centre. Check with your faculty office for
    details.
    THE PADI OPEN WATER DIVER
    The PADI Open Water Diver qualification is
    the most recognised diving certification in the
    World. As a qualified diver you can dive with
    a diver of similar, or higher qualification,
    whenever you want to. It is your ticket to a
    lifetime of adventure underwater and the
    starting block to a huge and diverse range of
    further diving qualifications and experiences.

    COURSE OVERVIEW
    At Triton Scuba our PADI Open Water courses
    are conducted over 2 weekends and a new
    course starts almost every weekend so you
    can choose a date to suit you. Learning to
    dive through a club system can take months,
    but at Triton Scuba we are flexible on dates,
    so if you miss a day through no fault of your
    own, you can always join another course.
    The course is broken down into a number of
    modules that make learning easy and fun.
    Before you come on the course you need to
    do a bit of home study, but we provide you
    with manuals, your own DVDs and computer
    based learning packs that contain all the
    information you need to understand the

    theory of diving. You study when it suits you


    meaning you wont have to sit through a se-
    ries of dreary lectures. Your training will be
    conducted at our award winning, PADI 5 Star
    Centre in Southsea. During the first weekend
    we will cover the theory side of life and all the
    pool work; essential before we take you into
    open water. We will confirm what you have
    learnt and fill in any gaps in your knowledge
    in the classroom then its time to get wet.
    Over the first two days you will spend six
    hours in the pool getting to grips with the
    equipment and techniques used in diving.
    Once the pool work has been completed and
    you have passed an easy multiple choice exam, you are fully prepared for the last 2 days
    of the course, where, in full diving equipment
    that is now familiar to you, you will complete
    your course by undertaking four open water
    dives. These will be either from our boat, or
    at an inland lake depending on the weather
    conditions. Thats all there is to it; youre
    ready to go diving and the start of an adventure of a lifetime.

    COSTS
    The course price is 349 saving you 50 on
    normal prices. What do you get for this? Well
