Master Scuba Diver
 The Master Scuba Diver Award is recognition for all the hard work you have done to build up your dives, skills and qualifications. Before we emabark on waxing lyrical about the fun and enjoyment of diving, it is worth covering a few key points. Scuba Diving is fun, a wonderful experience and it is a really safe sport ONLY if you get good instruction, use good sites and well maintained equipment. That said - you also need to practice your skills and keep them current. It does still though have risks. This must be taken seriously and you must be 100% truthful about the medical and liability release declarations, if not you are only fooling yourself, putting yourself to potentially lethal harm, let alone all the trauma and harm casused to all if sadly things go wrong. Don't - as this is a really great sport and it can be very safe...
You need to be of an age to understand all the safety aspects and instruction without distraction or continual intervention. You need to be fit and healthy and you need to be able to lift between 15Kg and 35Kg of equipment on your back/waist safely without harm, injury or strain.. If you are unsure of these wisely put points then be sure to check with your GP or a Sport/HSE Medical Referee.
Now the minimum age for the Master Scuba Diver award is 12 for the Junior MSD and it is just that a minimum. The full rating has a minimum age of 15. It will be our judgement and our judgement alone as to our acceptance of anyone that young doing a snorkling or scuba diving experience. Many facilities are keen to assert an overall minimum age for Scuba Diving of 12 and we totally understand and support their logic for such. We are fully (100% of all staff - see home page) Enhanced CRB checked and do offer to teach children - however we must put safety first and we must be sure that the children are themselves capable of handling the equipment and enjoying the fun of diving safely.
We try to make all our diving and snorkling experiences fun and really enjoyable, indeed memorable. We go for small teams that are a maximum of 4 students to 1 instructor (subject to age), and we build up the experiences and teams by sticking with this number. so if we have 12 students we will have 3 individual teams of 4 students each with there own instructor each run as a seperate course....
