Amphibian Scuba

The PADI Open Water Diver course is your first step into scuba diving. With no previous experience needed, you'll learn everything you need to become a safe, confident diver and earn a certification that's recognised worldwide.

The course begins with PADI eLearning, which you complete at your own pace before joining us for pool sessions, where you'll learn the essential scuba skills and take your very first breaths underwater. Once you're feeling confident, you'll put those skills into practice over four open water dives at Wraysbury Lake, guided by one of our experienced PADI Instructors.

At Aquanaut, we keep our class sizes small, take the time to teach every skill properly, and focus on creating confident divers, not just handing out certifications.

⚓ The PADI Wreck Diver Specialty is perfect for divers who want to safely explore sunken ships, aircraft and other underwater structures. 🌊 Wrecks offer a fascinating glimpse into history while also becoming thriving artificial reefs, attracting an incredible variety of marine life. 🪸🐠

🌍 From purpose-sunk ships to historic wrecks reclaimed by the sea, wreck diving offers a unique blend of adventure, history and marine life. This course gives you the skills and confidence to explore these incredible underwater sites safely.

📚 Before your dives, you'll complete the PADI eLearning at your own pace. Then, over four training dives across two days 🤿, you'll learn how to safely navigate around wrecks, map a site, identify hazards and, under the guidance of your PADI Instructor, plan and carry out limited wreck pe*******on using specialist techniques.

📚 Through PADI eLearning, pool sessions and realistic open water rescue scenarios, you'll practise everything from self-rescue, assisting tired or panicked divers and managing emergency situations, to locating missing divers and rescuing an unresponsive diver. Every scenario is designed to build your confidence through practical experience in a fun, supportive environment.

🌊 By the end of the course, you'll be a more aware, capable and confident diver, with stronger situational awareness, better problem-solving skills and the ability to look after both yourself and your dive buddies.

🎓 Your PADI Rescue Diver certification is recognised worldwide and is an essential step towards PADI Divemaster and other professional-level training. It also demonstrates to dive centres around the world that you've developed advanced safety, rescue and dive management skills.

Today is World Oceans Day, a global celebration of the waters that sustain life on Earth.

For divers, the ocean is more than a destination - it’s a place of connection, discovery and responsibility. Every time we enter the water, we have the chance to protect the environments we love.

Ways divers can make a positive impact:
• Maintain good buoyancy to avoid damaging reefs
• Choose reef‑safe sunscreen and eco‑friendly products
• Reduce single‑use plastics in daily life
• Support marine conservation charities
• Share knowledge and inspire others to care

Together, we can help keep our oceans healthy for future generations.
