Speciality Courses
At Wight Dive School, we offer over 30 PADI Speciality Courses designed to help you grow as a diver and explore new underwater experiences. Whether you're looking to sharpen your skills with courses like Underwater Navigation, Search & Recovery, or Delayed SMB, or you're eager to dive into new environments such as Wreck, Deep, or Night diving, there's something here for everyone.
Our courses range from one-day, non-diving options like Emergency Oxygen Provider and Enriched Air Diver (with an optional Nitrox dive), to multi-dive adventures like Wreck and Deep, which include four dives over two days.
Not sure where to start? Just tell us what you're interested in, and we’ll help you find the perfect course to match your goals.
PADI ReActivate Programme
Back in the Water, Back in the Game!
4th Sunday of every month, 11:00 – 13:00 at the newly refurbished UKSA pool in Cowes
If you're a certified diver who hasn't been underwater for a while and you're itching to get back into the swing of things – Island Dive School’s ReActivate sessions are just what you need.
Held monthly at the brilliant new UKSA pool in Cowes, our short, intensive refresher programme is designed to rebuild your confidence, update your skills, and get you ready to dive again.
What is the PADI ReActivate Program?
Whether you're a newly qualified diver or someone with years of experience who's taken a break, the PADI ReActivate Program is the perfect way to refresh your knowledge and practice essential diving skills — without repeating a full certification course.
Our sessions are fun, focused, and flexible, designed around you and what you want to review.
What to Expect
Your journey starts with you reviewing your own scuba theory and preparing any questions that you may wish to ask. Your Island Dive School instructor will then be available to help with these and other questions and offer guidance along the way.
Then it’s on to the pool at UKSA in Cowes – where we’ll run a friendly, supportive confined water session led by a qualified PADI professional. You’ll revisit core Open Water skills and focus on the areas you personally want to work on.
Whether it's been 6 months or 6 years, we’ll take the time to make sure you’re comfortable, confident, and ready for your next adventure.
Optional Add-On
While the PADI ReActivate Program is pool-based, we can also arrange a supervised open water experience to ease you back into real-world diving if desired.
