Congratulations! You have already done the hard bit. If you think you may enjoy diving from the comfort of your chair then you're almost certainly right.

After all, who wouldn't want to experience a whole new world, more heavily populated than the one we experience every day? And then there's the weightlessness, and the vibrant colours, and the wrecks... After all, 70% of the world is under water.

Explore the underwater world with 321dive and never look back. You will almost certainly have the time of your life on any of our trips.

If you're a beginner be sure to eradicate these myths:

• You wont be eaten by sharks (despite what Hollywood may tell you!)
• You only need to be able to swim 200m unaided to be able to dive, not be a great swimmer
• Wetsuits come in a variety of sizes, as do divers
• To fully control any descents or ascents safely is easy and thoroughly taught
• Fish wont nibble you (generally)
• Despite a distinct lack of signs, navigation underwater is taught and all of your diving will be with guides

Most of the pupils that go on the dive trips find the PADI qualification very useful in gap years and future holidays in the sun.

If you intend to go travelling pre- or post- university then its great to have a qualification that allows you to go diving in Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Australia, Cook Islands... or in fact anywhere in the world.

If you're more of an experienced diver:

You already know about some of the magic of diving and you now will have the chance to share it with your mates.

Once pupils have experienced the one dive trip and are armed with their PADI Open Water qualification, they often return the next year to do their PADI Advanced.

So we are used to having a combination of skill and experience amongst our school groups and its rare not to have your same familiar faces return the next year.

If you do opt for the Advanced Open Water or Dive Only option (2x daily dives) over the week then you will have the opportunity to visit all of the top dive sites that your resort offers.

And you won't be separate to your beginner mates during the day; we join the school groups in the last few days to dive together at suitable dive sites.

In short, whether a beginner or more experienced diver, all of our pupils that have accompanied a dive trip have returned to school saying it was one of their most memorable times at school.
