Diving offers something for everyone, you choose the adrenaline level. From an easy dive floating in mid water watching the world go by to an action packed deep wreck or cave dive.

WHY LEARN TO SCUBA WITH RAID

RAID has the most comprehensive online platform in the world incorporating a unique quality assurance system that helps ensure more consistent quality outcomes.

Secondly we teach to a higher standard compared to many other organisations, like most other training companies we comply to minimum standards as outlined by ISO but to truly ensure better quality and more confident divers we have a much stronger emphasis on core skills, especially buoyancy control. You will generally quickly pick a RAID trained diver because they exhibit excellent buoyancy control.

Why is this important? While with proper training diving is a relatively safe activity, poor buoyancy control has been identified as the greatest cause of incidents in diving. At RAID, safety is our number one criteria and this starts by spending more time in the pool to cement skills- especially buoyancy control- in fact we have drawn upon the skills of the technical dive community (these are like the formulae one of divers who push diving to the extreme limits) to significantly improve buoyancy skills through new techniques they have perfected for extreme diving.

We do not boast about how many people we teach to dive, we speak in terms of how many keep diving once they complete a RAID program. We don’t want to just get you certified to dive we want to make sure you are safe and comfortable in the water. Having taught more than anyone else does not help you, in fact what we have seen is ever shorter courses and lower training standards emerge. At RAID we are quality focused. Start Today!

Our team are among the most highly qualified in the world. As a team we felt there needed to be a change in the way people learn to scuba and we are dedicated to raising the standard of diver education around the world.

Your Certification is Internationally recognised, has been reviewed by and meet HSE standard which are among the highest in the world and they exceed ISO standards.

COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What are the key steps in learning to dive with RAID?

Becoming a scuba diver is a wonderful adventure! Scuba certification includes four phases:

1. Learn To Scuba Online. RAID’s unique online training system is a superior way to learn the knowledge required to be a safe diver.

2. Choose where you want to complete your practical training and get certified as a diver

3. Pool Training. You’ll develop basic scuba skills in a pool or in confined water – a calm area of water with pool-like conditions.

There is nothing like the excitement of taking your first breathe underwater. You will really enjoy learning and practicing new skills at your own pace, under supervision of your RAID expert instructor.

Then it’s time to dive where the real action takes place – the open water.

4. Open Water Dives
After your pool/confined water sessions, you’ll head to “open water”, where you and your RAID instructor will make a minimum of four scuba dives, usually over two days. You’ll apply the skills you learned in confined water as well as having plenty of time for exploring the local dive site.RAID FB cover (6)

How long does it take to get certified?
The RAID Open Water 20 Course takes about 3-4 days depending on local conditions and how fast you learn. The RAID dive course is all about you, when you feel safe and confident and your Instructor is happy with your skill and knowledge level you join the ranks of thousands of other confident RAID divers around the world.
How much do scuba lessons cost?
This will vary greatly depending on what is included in your training. RAID standards are very stringent so if you are doing a RAID course it will be of the highest quality. If comparing to other programs some things to look out for:

– A promise of a short course- it takes time for critical skills to sink in and being rushed to complete a course is no way to learn properly even if there is a saving.
– Where will you dive- there is a massive difference in the quality of diving that can be had say in a river or boat diving on a reef. Some courses include a fly away vacation. In short, you really need to ask about what you are getting for your money.
– RAID automatically includes all training materials and once you learn to dive they are yours for life- you can refer to our updated information any time to refresh your knowledge. Some programs do not include training materials and there is an extra charge.
– Is there an extra charge for certification- RAID courses include your certification as part of your online training investment
– What equipment is provided? We generally recommend you own at least the essential items like mask, snorkel and fins- before you buy make sure you speak to your RAID dive centre to get the equipment that is right for you. Generally speaking most other items will be provided but make sure you check.
– Also ask about class sizes- generally speaking the smaller the better
