Important Information

In order to ensure that all payments are financially protected by Regaldive's ATOL bonding, all dive centres and clubs must ensure that all cheques are made payable to Regaldive. Credit card / debit cards transactions cannot be made directly with the dive centre / dive club. The credit / debit card numbers must be given to Regaldive so that the transaction can be made. Please call Regaldive for the latest advice and information on 01353 659999.

You don't have to book your entire holiday package through Regaldive in order to be able to take advantage of our fantastic dive pack and course prices. If you have already booked your flights and arranged your accommodation, consider making the most of Regaldive's excellent prices and booking your diving in advance. 

Advantages in booking your diving in advance:

1. You can be confident that the dive centre you will be booked with is a safe and reputable dive centre.
2. If you are travelling during a busy time (and remember that just because it is not a busy time in the UK to travel, does not apply to other nationalities from other countries), there is no guarantee that the dive centre will be able to offer you what you would like in the timescale you have in mind. This applies to courses in particular, where diver to instructor ratios change according to the course type, the age of people participating, prevailing local conditions etc.
3. In the majority of cases, you will pay less for your dive package when reserving in advance, due to the agreements we have in place with our longstanding suppliers. Sometimes, one forgets to take into account local taxes, bank charges, fixed local exchange rates and local credit card charges before calculating the true cost of booking direct.
4. Divers may get caught out if the dive centre you have booked with goes bust. All monies paid to Regaldive are 100% financially secure.

In short, booking your diving in advance gives you more peace of mind!

Diving only bookings are also available for Regaldive's range of other destinations around the world.

Fancy a few days diving? We thought so! 

With more pressures on our time than ever before, and flight departures offering improved flexibility, Regaldive are finding it increasingly common to arrange short breaks for our keen divers itching to get their diving fix!

If you just can't find time for a full one or two week diving holiday but would love to don mask and fins and slip into your wetsuit for at least a few days of fantastic warm water diving this summer, then Regaldive may just have the perfect solution. 

For many years we've been arranging shorter breaks on request for our clients, but recently we've noticed a real trend for four or five night stays, with long weekends or mid-week mini getaways on the increase. With a great amount of choice in flight connections, Regaldive are pleased to be able to offer the flexibility to stay four or five nights in either the Red Sea, Lanzarote or Malta & Gozo.

Malta & Gozo

The Maltese Islands are renowned for their spectacular underwater topography, fascinating history and beautiful clear waters. The islands can be reached from the UK in just over three hours, making a short break an attractive option.

Malta truly offers something for every diver. The island's history as disputed land has led to an impressive collection of ship, plane and submarine wrecks that have really put Malta on the map for wreck diving. Dozens of shipwrecks, historic and artificial mean that Malta is a key technical diving destination but it's also an ideal place to learn to dive.

Gozo is one of the few remaining unspoilt Mediterranean islands and a haven for divers', with its simple, rural charm. Underwater arches and tunnels have been carved out of the coastline and offer divers endless points of interest around its 27-mile coastline of natural rugged beauty and normally great underwater visibility.

With several flight departures each week, travel for four or five nights and enjoy up to three dives per day - plus night dives! Log up to 10 dives in just three days! 

Lanzarote, Canary Islands

Situated just off the coast of Africa, Lanzarote is the most easterly of the Canary Islands. Only four hours flight away, Lanzarote is an ideal destination for UK divers: combining year-round warm temperatures and stunning diving. 

Lanzarote's volcanic landscape that is so impressive on the surface is equally as awe-inspiring underwater, with lava flows and cave formations providing divers with some fantastic areas to explore. 

Divers are well catered for thanks to the balmy climate and stunning diving, including reefs, caves and wrecks. Lanzarote is suitable for divers of all levels, offering bays protected by rocky outcrops suitable for beginners as well as plenty of options for the more experienced diver, with many drop-offs, wrecks and caves to explore. The harbour wall wreck dive site is a designated Underwater Park containing a number of wrecks. 

The rocks are covered in anemones, sponges and soft corals and are home to a variety of marine life, including grouper, tuna, barracuda, monkfish, moray, octopus, rays and seahorses. At certain times of the year, it is also possible to see dolphins and whales.

With the convenience of regular flights from most regional UK airports, divers can travel for four or five nights and maximise their diving time with the convenience of a four-hour flight from the UK.

Sardinia

Fancy diving somewhere a little different? The island of Sardinia has a colourful history, warm climate, a scenic coastline and some intriguing underwater highlights. It’s also a fantastic destination to take your non-diving, beach-loving friends. Flight time is only 2 hours 20 minutes. There are several charter and scheduled airlines flying regularly, in season from May to October.

Divers head to the Emerald Coast in the North East to dive the sites of the marine park in La Maddalena archipelago, Palau Sardinia and Lavezzi (Corsica). Suitable for all abilities the topography is granite, with swim-throughs, overhangs, sponge-encrusted caves, huge gorgonian fans and drop-offs. Plus there’s the wreck of the Angelika cargo ship to explore. Marine life is plentiful and expect to see plenty of nudibranch, spiny lobster and octopus plus huge grouper, Mediterranean eagle rays and barracuda at the 40+ dive sites in the region.

The sheltered bays and shallow waters make this an excellent place for those taking their first bubbles. Our local PADI 5-star resort partner provides a comprehensive range of PADI courses as well as daily diving trips. Water temperatures are between 19 and 25°C in summer and autumn, dropping to 15°C in early spring.  

Red Sea

One of the best dive destinations in the world, the Red Sea is just a five-hour flight from the UK, making a long weekend or mid-week getaway a real possibility. Take advantage of regional departures and choose from a range of Red Sea resorts, including Hurghada, El Gouna, Safaga, Marsa Alam and Hamata - for anything from three to six nights!  

Give Regaldive a call on 01353 659999 to ask a member of our team for more information on our short breaks. Why not see if you can fit in a few extra days of diving this summer!

Sports Diver Course

Students will do one day's diving before starting the Sports Diver course. This is to ensure that the student is comfortable in the schools equipment and comfortable in the water prior to starting this program. The one day diving is included in the Sports Diver course price, however equipment is at an additional charge for this diving day.

One Day Recreational diving is also required prior to specialty courses. 

Scuba Review

Should some time have passed since their last dive, our dive centres recommend all divers adhere to the recommendations made by their training agency regarding the completion of a Scuba/Skills review before diving. Most agencies recommend a Scuba/Skills review if no diving has taken place for 6 months. Evidence of the date of the divers’ last dive should be shown in a log book to avoid problems on check-in; where possible the review should be booked in advance and will take place on the first day’s diving.

Alternatively a Scuba/Skills Review can be completed prior to arrival in resort and signed by an Instructor in the divers’ logbook. In the interests of safety, dive centres reserve the right to provide and charge for a Check Dive, Scuba Review, or Refresher with an Instructor, or restrict diving activities if the Instructor has any doubts about diver safety. Please advise of this when booking to ensure availability. 

Dive Leader

The recommended minimum period to take the Dive Leader course is 2 weeks. We do advise that the student does have all materials and they study prior to their arrival.

Please note that prices, contents and structure of courses may vary slightly in different resorts. To complete your qualification you need to take with you two passport sized photos. You may also have to pay a certification fee of between €25 - €55. Loan of dive equipment and loan of manuals is normally included. 

Please note that prices, contents and structure of courses may vary slightly in different resorts. 

Develop your diving skills and knowledge with Regaldive. Once you have qualified as a PADI Open Water Diver, the underwater world is literally your oyster. You can advance through the PADI system and develop your skills in various speciality areas such as wreck, deep or drift diving, which will not only broaden your enjoyment but will also increase your experience and confidence. Rescue skills can be achieved and developed in the highly acclaimed Rescue Diver Course, particularly recommended for those wishing to take their diving further. 

Continuing your diving adventure with an advanced course is one of the best moves you can make. By going beyond Open Water Diver, you can:

• Learn additional skills specific to your interests
• Be more confident in and around the water
• Continue to develop your dive skills
• Better understand the aquatic world
• Dive where only divers with advanced training can dive

Dive Courses

Regaldive offer a range of PADI Advanced courses to suit your needs. Below, you will find our most popular Advanced courses but there are many other PADI courses we can arrange.

PADI Advanced Open Water Course

Build on your Open Water skills and expand your diving experience. The PADI Advanced course takes two days and consists of five dives. Two are compulsory - deep dive and navigation, three are elective from a choice including wreck, night, drift, photo, etc. Equipment is usually included. Please note that an extra fee may be payable in resort for some of the elective dives. There is a minimum age limit of 12 for the PADI Advanced course. Some Advanced courses also include extra dives so please check with us for details.

Please note: Divers wishing to do their Advanced Open Water Course will need to purchase the PADI Advanced Open Water manual. This can be bought from Regaldive.

PADI Enriched Air (Nitrox) Diver

The PADI Enriched Air Diver course is 1 day's training giving recreational divers the knowledge to plan and execute recreational Nitrox dives. It consists of knowledge development, 2 practical application sessions and 2 optional Enriched Air training dives, taken from the boat or shore depending on which resort you are visiting. Many centres will request that you complete 1 day's recreational diving before taking this course to check weights, buoyancy and equipment.

In recreational diving terms, Enriched Air Nitrox (EAN) refers to any nitrogen/oxygen gas mixture with an oxygen concentration higher than the 21% found in normal air: 32% oxygen is often used as standard. It is this higher percentage of oxygen, and the proportionately lower percentage of nitrogen, that allows divers to lengthen no-decompression limits, shorten surface intervals and get an added safety buffer for decompression sickness in certain diving circumstances.

The PADI Enriched Air Diver Specialty certification emphasises the theoretical and operational considerations involved with enriched air diving.

Divers wishing to do their PADI Enriched Course will need to purchase the PADI manual. This can be bought from Regaldive.

Emergency First Response

Learn the skills you need to perform CPR and First Aid. Emergency First Response (EFR) helps you to properly handle potentially life-threatening situations. This comprehensive program contains two core modules that can be taught in tandem or as stand-alone courses:

EFR - Primary Care and EFR - Secondary Care

Together, these courses provide extensive instruction in CPR and First Aid, as well as providing optional (though recommended) Automated External Defibrillator and Emergency Oxygen sections.

This course is usually conducted over one day and satisfies your PADI Rescue Diver CPR prerequisite.

PADI Rescue Diver Course

Expand your knowledge and experience beyond the recreational. The PADI Rescue Diver course is one of the most rewarding courses because you'll learn to look beyond yourself and consider the safety and well being of other divers.

Rescue diver students are required to complete five knowledge development segments and the final exam, prepare an emergency assistance plan, demonstrate a number of rescue skills in open water and participate in two rescue scenarios. The course typically last between 3-4 days and is open to qualified Advanced Open Water divers.

Please note that the Emergency First Response (EFR) qualification is required, or proof of other CPR first aid course, within the last two years.

Divers wishing to do their PADI Rescue Diver Course will need to purchase the PADI manual. This can be bought from Regaldive.

PADI Divemaster Course

This course is the first step on the professional diving career ladder. The PADI Divemaster course will give you the qualification you need to allow you to work as a Dive Guide. To take part, you must be 18 years or older and have proof of 40 logged dives, be PADI Advanced Open Water and a Rescue Diver.
