We discuss swimming requirements, equipment fit and the enrollment paperwork before confirming your place.

A few useful answers.

Can I finish the course in November?

No. The quarry is closed November–April. These groups do pool work in November and complete their open-water dives in May 2027.

What if I miss a session?

Tell us before the session. We agree on a make-up plan and quote any extra pool or instructor time before you commit.
