The Introductory Dive is a perfect way to experience the excitement of SCUBA diving without committing to a full Open Water Course. The experience begins with a short DVD and review session where your instructor introduces you to the basics of SCUBA equipment and diving safety. You will then move to the shallow waters of the lagoon, where you can stand comfortably while learning to breathe underwater. During this session, you will practice four essential dive skills under the close guidance of your instructor, gaining confidence and comfort in the water. After mastering these skills, you will enjoy your first guided dive to a maximum depth of twelve metres, exploring the underwater environment safely and confidently. This experience is ideal for beginners and provides a strong foundation for progressing to the Open Water Course if desired.
Upon completion, you will receive a Certificate of Recognition, and the cost of this introductory dive can be credited towards an Open Water Course if you choose to upgrade. The minimum age for participation is ten years. A medical questionnaire must be completed on the day, and certain conditions such as asthma, ear or lung issues, heart conditions, or recent surgeries may require medical clearance prior to diving. Participants should also avoid alcohol and certain medications before the dive to ensure safety.

Melanie
I had an absolutely fantastic weekend doing my orientation dive (and fun dives) with Ocean Divers at Killary Fjord! From the moment I arrived every member of staff and all the other divers were incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was supportive and relaxed, making it easy to feel comfortable even if you’re just starting out like me (10 dives previously). There were a lot of divers, but each in small groups with their own dive master or dive instructor and grouped together in the OW/AOW courses or fun dives. While I had already done my OW elsewhere, I’ll definitely be doing the advanced course and further dives with these guys as the level of dedication and commitment that goes into making their students be successful divers is visible. Bring a bit of patience for the initial response period if you reach out during a very busy time - it‘s hard to respond when you’re always in the water 😄 but I honestly can’t recommend them enough if you’re looking to become a good diver and explore Irelands underwater world with a genuinely lovely group of people.

I’m doing the drysuit diver course with Oceandivers at the moment. I was having trouble getting my buoyancy right, so had six pool sessions to get it right at no extra charge!! What a crew Oceandivers have. There was no pressure, just take your time and get it right. Dan is always on hand to help you out and the rest of the lads are so helpful. I had my first sea dive for the buoyancy certification today off Dalkey island. It was fantastic!! The extra lessons really paid off. I cannot recommend the Oceandivers crew highly enough. It is and has been a pleasure working with Oceandivers to get my drysuit certification. Can’t wait to get back in the water with the crew!!

Did my Open Water course with Ocean Divers and couldn’t have asked for a better experience – especially on the trip out to Killary Harbour. Alan and Dan are absolute legends. They keep things calm, clear, and enjoyable from start to finish, and they’ve got a brilliant way of building your confidence without overcomplicating anything. Killary was a cracking spot to dive, and the lads made sure everyone got the most out of it, no matter their level. The whole vibe was relaxed but totally professional – you always felt in safe hands. Already looking forward to coming back for my Advanced course. If you’re thinking of giving diving a go, just book it with these lads. You won’t regret it.

I got my OW course with Oceandivers in the previous two months and they are really professional and helpful. Especially, I would like to thank my instructor Alan, he is really amazing experience diver and nice advisor. Great enjoy my training with him and also thank other instructors, divemasters and staffs from Oceandivers.

Amazing experience on my Open Water Diving Course with Oceandivers Ireland! The instructors are all professional, patient, and safety-focused. Training was well-structured, with great dive sites and top-notch equipment. Richard was my instructor and had so much patience with us all while also ensuring we had fun too! Highly recommend. Can’t wait to return! 🌊🤿
