Scuba Diving Holidays

Take the plunge

For some visitors to Center Parcs – be they young or just young at heart – the Subtropical Swimming Paradise forms the focal point of their scuba diving holiday. It's easy to see why. The subtropical environment is maintained at a blissful 29.5°C, which means that here it's summer all year round and the perfect location to learn to scuba dive. 

If you've always wanted to go scuba diving, but would prefer to test the water in the safety and comfort of a Center Parcs' Subtropical Swimming Paradise, we have everything you need to get started. Expert PADI instructors will provide you with an introduction to basic diving physics and equipment, giving you the confidence to explore your potential and decide whether it's a sport you'd like to pursue further.

Our deep water lane pool is the setting for a range of exciting watersport activities such as snorkelling, aquafit and exciting junior water-based activities. 

Learning to dive on a scuba diving holiday can open up a new and exciting world of underwater adventure for your next foreign holiday and you can learn all the skills in a safe, monitored environment at Center Parcs. By completing a PADI (Professional association of Diving Instructors) Open Water Diver Course you will be qualified to dive anywhere in the world. We run a 2 part course that earns you a PADI Discover Scuba certificate and counts towards the final certification:

Part 1 
An introduction to diving which gives a good taster of basic diving skills, buoyancy control, breathing underwater, airway control, swimming underwater and diving equipment. 

Part 2
A more in-depth and intensive session focusing on how to look after yourself underwater, including regulatory recovery, partial mask flooding and alternative air source in an 'out of ar' situation.

However the water takes your fancy, whether you like to relax on a spa break or enjoy the thrill of everything a scuba diving holiday has to offer, at Center Parcs you will find it here.
