All our dive courses require a range of different Open Water environments to suit the needs of your programme and the conditions you would like to dive in. We find that everyone demands different services of diving from the Academy. For example, most divers will look to complete on our worldwide expeditions, some on our UK short breaks or alternatively they require the Academy to refer the diver to a reputable dive centre for their next family/friends holiday. The Academy’s intention is to get divers diving whatever the next stage of your underwater journey might be.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_progress_bar values=”%5B%7B%22label%22%3A%22Progress%2025%25%22%2C%22value%22%3A%2225%22%2C%22color%22%3A%22blue%22%7D%5D” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_single_image image=”17648″ img_size=”250×186″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”80px”][vc_custom_heading text=”EXPEDITION CALENDAR” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:44px|text_align:center|color:%23000000|line_height:44px” use_theme_fonts=”yes” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sunkendreams.com%2Facademy-calendar%2F|title:Academy%20Calendar||”][vc_custom_heading text=”Start the Adventure today” font_container=”tag:h5|font_size:20px|text_align:center|color:%23a8ece6|line_height:24px” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle”][vc_column width=”1/4″ css=”.vc_custom_1485268651494{padding-right: 10% !important;padding-left: 10% !important;background-color: #f3f3f3 !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” offset=”vc_col-lg-6 vc_col-md-6″][vc_empty_space height=”5px”][vc_custom_heading text=”02″ font_container=”tag:h1|font_size:90px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:150px” google_fonts=”font_family:Oswald%3A300%2Cregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][vc_custom_heading text=”SUNKEN DREAMS DESTINATIONS” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:34px|text_align:left|color:%23000000|line_height:34px” google_fonts=”font_family:Dosis%3A200%2C300%2Cregular%2C500%2C600%2C700%2C800|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal” css_animation=”fadeInLeft” css=”.vc_custom_1528251253609{margin-top: -40px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 5px !important;padding-bottom: 5px !important;background-color: #f3f3f3 !important;}” link=”url:http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sunkendreams.com%2Flocations-home%2F|title:Sunken%20Dreams%20Destinations%20Map||”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInLeft”]At the Academy we have worked hard to build lasting relationships with some of the world’s most unique dive locations and best facilitators.

Academy Events

The Academy member with the most points on January the 1st each year also receives a special gift from the Academy.

Sunken Dreams e-Shop

Another exclusive feature to the Sunken Dreams Scuba Diving Academy is the ability for our divers to access their dive certification information securely online at anytime. Scenarios of why Diver’s Data is useful:

                • Should you misplace your dive card before your holiday and will need it for verification at a new resort or dive centre
                • You have returned to scuba dive after many years and not have access to your details for sometime
                • Maybe you are interested to check how much of a particular course you have left to complete
                • You require information about previous courses as a pre-requisite for the Divemaster programme

  • We can’t find any!
  • Seriously, if used correctly, there are no drawbacks
  • Okay lets take a look – If left to their own devices learners with low motivation or study habits may fall behind, be confused about activities and deadlines or feel isolated from instructors or classmates. To avoid these pitfalls, we assess and develop the diver’s knowledge at practical dive session, whilst monitoring their online course progression. We insist that all Academy members taking e-learning with us must  also complete their confined water dive skills with the Academy instructors. We do this to make sure that divers gain confidence and meet their objectives with early success.
