Why do you like to dive, or why do you want to learn to dive? Ask some of the staff at Big Blue for their reasons and they’ll all give you a different answer.
Why did you learn to dive?
The reason can be as varied as the ocean is deep. Some people will tell you that they want to explore the underwater world, be it the variety of different types of rock formations or the chance of seeing some incredible marine life. Some people just love the feeling of being underwater and enjoy the sensation of weightlessness- we had a fun diver recently that had problems with their balance, and they loved being underwater because it temporarily went away. If you ask our tech instructors at Big Blue Tech, Andy or Tex, they’ll pretty much agree that they like being inside a wreck or cave in zero visibility pushing themselves to the limit and putting their training to the test. Weirdos.
The Open Water Course
Whatever your reasons for going diving, we can turn you into a very competent diver. The open water course will give you the foundations to be able to begin enjoying the underwater world. The advanced course will introduce you to some important diving skills such as navigation and deep diving techniques, as well as increase your confidence. The rescue course will turn you into a diver that is able to look out for other people, anticipate problems with yourself and others and deal with them effectively. We can also teach a wide range of specialty courses that will make you better at the type of diving you are interested in, be it wreck diving, photography, or equipment maintenance.
Learn from the best
If you want to work in the dive industry you can do your training with us- you’ll learn from the best people in the industry, and if you want to become an instructor we can make you into a bloody good one- a trait that other dive resorts will recognize instantly. Finally, if you’re a little bit weird, we can teach you technical diving so you can sit inside a shipwreck in complete darkness, because, you know…you’re a bit strange. But if that’s still not getting you going, we can train you to free dive down to 40 meters or become a freediving divemaster, or freediving instructor. Finally, we can teach you all about marine conservation, so if seeing the marine life underwater is not quite enough for you, you can learn some marine biology and ecology, and help spread the message of why it’s important to look after our oceans.
So which type of person are you? If you’re not sure, just get yourself to Big Blue… you’ll soon find out.
