Has anyone done any training at Blue Lagoon and what did they think. Looking at doing a recue diver course soon and because these are close to where i live thought about giving these a go. Any feed back welcome.

If you want all those specialities then that doesn't seem an unreasonable amount of money. A rescue course is usually around £250 with site entry fees on top so you're getting a lot for your money.

[Flapster]

Aye, don't know about the dive centre, but it looks good value for money with the specialities thrown in..

[dami76]

Thats what i thought as dive centres close to me are charging about £250 for the course + £75-80 for the first aid bit and then entrance fees to capenwray and fuel costs etc seems a decent deal. Will nip down and see what the crack is.

Seems like a good price
Does it include the manuals and certification fees for the Specialties as well ?

I think Blue Lagoon would be a great location to do the Rescue course. I would ask how many people will be doing the course at the same time as I think you will get more from it if the ratio of Instructors to pupils is low.

IMHO, i think that a ratio of 4:1 is a really good ratio, allows a good bit of senarios to take place at the same time..... would make an interesting course

Going to pop down there early next week for a chat. Asking about student ratio`s is a good idea is there anything else i should be asking?

Sorry not that experianced at this diving lark

[dami76]

experianced


or spelling ffs

Whilst the price is good if you're not that experienced a diver then you might be better off just using the money to go diving.The rescue course is really good fun but I think you are better off leaving this until you're confident with your own skills in the water.

With that money I'd have a week in Sharm and get another 20 dives or so under my belt.
