DIVE DEEPER FOR LONGER
EVENING COURSE

COURSE OVERVIEW

Padi Enriched Air Diver course is Andark’s most popular specialty scuba course. Why? Because scuba diving with enriched air nitrox gives you more no decompression time, especially on repetitive scuba dives. If staying down longer and getting back in the water sooner sounds appealing, then don’t hesitate to become an enriched air diver.

COURSE OVERVIEW

If you are aged 9-12, like the water, and want to do something different on a Sunday, then this is the course for you. No experience required. You just have to be able to swim 25m unassisted, be taller than 1.2 m and be comfortable in deeper water. It’s a 6 session course which will take you through the basics of scuba diving in the comfort and safety of Andark’s own 3.4 metre pool. We’ll start with snorkelling techniques, then introduce you to scuba equipment. By the end of the course you should be able to put your scuba gear together, do a buddy check, clear your mask, perform regulator recovery, and practice safe buoyancy in the deep end. (If you are interested but can’t commit to Sunday afternoons we also run this entry level course as a ‘ScubaCamp’ most school holidays).

This course provides an excellent introduction to diving and lays down a solid foundation for children to then build on. Students can go on to Master Aquanauts or provided they are age 10+ progress to the PADI Junior Open Water Course.

AQUANAUT CADET STATUS

Andark Cadet status is eligible for those students who have attended all 16 sessions Aquanaut sessions and have shown themselves to be mature and responsible and safe divers. Cadets are able to purchase our specially designed CADET t-shirt. We will then pair up Cadets with the new Master Aquanauts. While they have no direct responsibility, they act as a mentor to the newer kids and help the instructors set up and clear away.

Due to the recent success of Aquauants and the number of kids who have gone on to Junior Open Water Diver Status we are launching Andark JQDs
for Junior Qualified Divers. This is open to any children already certified by PADI, BSAC and other recognised diver training organisations regardless of whether they have participated in Aquanauts.

The programme will be run in the pool once a month during the winter months for divers to fine-tune their skills and in the summer months we aim to have some open water dives tailored for the younger diver.
