Learn to scuba dive and explore the surprising underwater environment right on your own doorstep!
Dive into Hong Kong is a five-day diving program offering qualifications for first-time divers (PADI Open Water Diver), courses for those looking to develop their skills (PADI Advanced Diver) and students wishing to refine their skills further (Speciality Diving courses). All PADI courses will be delivered through Splash HK. Theory elements will be taught by Darren Gilkison, a PADI-Asia course director, whilst practical elements will be led by his experienced team of diving instructors all of whom speak fluent English. Students should be able to swim 200m freestyle to join this trip. Please note that if students have or have had any medical condition which may impact their ability to dive – particularly respiratory conditions such as asthma – they will need to obtain clearance from a suitable physician before the dive centre will permit them to dive. All theory materials will be provided to students, who will have the opportunity to work with Darren in advance of Horizons Week to cover the material and maximise our diving time in the water. The first three days of the activity will take place in the swimming pool at West Island where students will take their first breaths underwater and cover the core skills of diving responsibly and safely. The week will also feature an overnight camping trip departing from Sai Kung on the Splash HK dive boat; students will complete training dives at exciting sites within the national park on both days and Advanced students will undertake their night dive. Travel to and from Sai Kung; all camping equipment; breakfast, lunches and dinner are all included. |
