            At 
              Adventures in Diving we believe that at this stage of your diving 
              career you should be able to tailor the course to suit you. So after 
              the initial Course introduction you will be able to request any 
              of the school instructors to take you through any part of the course 
              that you wish. The choice is yours you can go as fast or as slow 
              as you like. All we ask is that you ensure all your paper work is 
              signed by an instructor as you meet the requirements.
