Courses

Farrworld presents the diver with a unique training programme of global application. While many of the techniques employed in the overhead environment find direct application in wreck and ice diving, the Farrworld training is generally restricted to caves and mine workings. These programmes are highly respected and certification is recognised worldwide.

Remember that old adage:
If you can dive in the UK you can dive anywhere in the world.

Price: £330

Cave and/or Mine Experience

These underground experiences are available to all (no prior experience of caving required), and will be tailored to the wishes, needs and aptitude of the individual client.

Duration: one day
Location: normally South Wales
Price: £320

Apart from safety our prime consideration is client satisfaction.

Diving and caving are, above all, recreational activities. Just because the content is of a serious nature does not mean that students are not allowed to enjoy themselves!

Whether a dedicated wreck diver, a budding cave diver or just an occasional holiday diver, Farrworld has something for you.
