Basic Openwater Scuba Diver Course
Yearning to be a diver and experience the freedom under the surface of the sea? It’s an experience you’ll never forget!! Ditch those landlubber days as we take out out to sea for an adventure you’ll never regret ! NUS Dive Club stresses the importance of diving education through thorough theory and pool lessons and not the promise of a dive card (license) just because one joined and paid for the course. An educated diver with knowledge of the function of its equipment, the hazard of the underwater environment, how pressure affects our body and safe diving practices is a safe diver. NUS Dive Club also emphasizes medical fitness for diving. Medical examination is strongly encouraged for new divers to be assessed for contraindications to diving, e.g. heart and lung diseases, active or history of asthma, diabetes, and TB. Should you have any of the above mentioned, or have a condition you suspect might pose a threat to your personal safety in diving, let us know and we may be able to arrange a consultation with a diving physician for you. Remember, Your safety is always Number One!
