Why become a PADI Boat diver? From little inflatable RIBs off the Brighton coast, to luxury live-a-boards in the Maldives, boat diving can take you to amazing sites that are simply inaccessible by land. There is also the added advantage of being dropped right on top of your dive site, no walking required!

By completing the PADI Boat Diver course, you will become more versed in the ways of boat diving, by learning the terminology, the safety procedures, etiquette, entry and exit points.

 This course is 2 boat dives, completed at Mercers Lake, off the coast of Brighton, or possibly on one of our club trips.
