Why choose a NAUI course?
Scuba diving is an adventure sport, and therefore some consider it dangerous. The fact is that it need not be dangerous if you do it properly - like crossing the road. The aim of NAUI is to minimise risks by maximising education and a large number of courses have been developed over the past 35 years that NAUI have been operating.
