Pool Depths from 1- 4 metres

The pool at Walthamstow has a depth of 4 metres. This gives us the flexibility to make you comfortable from the beginning to giving you added depth towards the end to ensure you are better prepared for your Open Water dives. We recommend that if you decide to train elsewhere you look at the pools you will train in, you may not be as comfortable going from 2 metres in the pool straight to 12 and to 18 meters in open water.

Mission Statement

Adventure Divers a PADI 5 star Instructor Development Centre have been teaching people to dive since 1988. We have a team of dedicated professional instructors who have been trained by Ray Clark. PADI Course Director, Ray has been teaching instructors since 1993. Only those that meet the highest level of standards teach for Adventure Divers.

Our emphasis is quality divers rather than quantity. We strive to produce safe divers at entry level. We believe experience and continued education will help them to become safer divers.

Bottom time is your bonus and the more time spent in the water will make you a safer diver. We offer additional pool time than most and will maximise your bottom time in open water within safe and comfort limits.

Quality usually comes at price:

(Price) Our time + your experience = Your safety (Quality)

About PADI

PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) is the world’s largest recreational diving membership organization. Professional PADI Members (dive centres, resorts, educational facilities, instructors, assistant instructors and divemasters) teach the vast majority, nearly 70%, of the world’s recreational divers, issuing nearly 800,000 certifications each year. PADI Professionals make underwater exploration and adventure accessible to the public while maintaining the highest industry standards for dive training, safety and customer service. PADI is international in scope with service offices throughout the world. PADI provides members with a full range of educational materials, training aids, promotional pieces and recognition materials to conduct and market PADI programs.

The PADI System of diver education is based on progressive training that introduces skills, safety related information and local environmental knowledge to students in stages. PADI courses are student-centered and provide for maximum practice and application. Students learn the basics through independent study and then are guided through additional development by their instructors. The goal is to get students in the water as soon as possible and provide them with the instruction necessary to gain confidence in their diving abilities. PADI’s entry-level scuba certification is Open Water Diver. Once certified, divers can continue their education by becoming Advanced Open Water, Specialty and Rescue Divers. Further training, such as the Divemaster and Assistant Instructor courses, allow interested divers to become dive leaders.

All PADI programs, entry-level through instructor training, fall under strict educational standards to maintain worldwide consistency and quality. PADI takes a proactive approach to quality assurance, with a full-time department that randomly surveys PADI Divers to monitor PADI programs and to confirm that they meet PADI’s high standards. This commitment to a strong quality assurance process helps maintain credibility and continually improve customer satisfaction.
