Learn to Dive

If you would like to learn more about the diverse and spectacular marine life found in the UK waters Andark’s Distinctive PADI Specialty course UK Marine Life Diver is for you. The theory session overviews the different species and habitats found underwater and the seasonal difference during the year. The course is completed over 2 sea dives were you will learn and practice how to recognise the UK’s underwater wildlife. Andark is the only PADI Centre in the UK to offer this course. The theory on its own is very interesting and informative and is suitable for non-divers as well.
