Great Fun Trip, even if you just want to dive.

We are running our annual 4 day event at the Farne Islands, from July 16th to 19th aimed at divers who are wanting to under take Sports Diver or Dive Leader dive leadership, experience dives etc, Qualification ready for the summer.

Planned for 4 days of diving from a hard boat at the Farne Islands, our Dive Leader Expedition Training Days are a fantastic opportunity to get some top class diving in, while making good progress towards your Dive Leader qualification.

From Thursday July 16 until Sunday 19th, we will be diving from Billy Shiels’ Glad Tidings, out of Seahouses, a great platform for diving from with a long history taking divers out to the Farne Islands.

Over the 4 days you will get an opportunity to be involved in the dive management, leading dives, adding to your experience dives, and as many of the Dive Leader lessons as we can, with a small team of experienced instructors working with you on your personal development, to get as much out of the weekend as possible. We hope to get to a variety of dive sites, which the Farnes gives us, wrecks, reefs, and fingers crossed even to play with the seals!

We plan to dive sites to a maximum depth of up to 35m, so would recommend that you bring an appropriate redundant air source, equipment for open sea diving such and DSMB and good torch / signalling devices. We will do two dives a day, so cylinders to allow for that, with refills in the evening.

The fee for the event covers the four days of diving with instruction. (Individual days can also be booked) Accommodation, food and air fills are separate, and will be arranged.
