As autumn fades and winter settles over England, many divers assume it’s time to pack away their wetsuits and wait for warmer seas. At Overland Underwater, we see winter differently. It’s the season to refine skills, deepen knowledge, and stay connected to the water — with the pool and classroom as your training ground. If you want to step into spring more confident, more capable, and genuinely excited for open water, winter is your secret advantage.
And this winter, everyone gets 10% off selected courses when booking via email. It’s simple: send us a message, secure your place, and save. Email training@overlandunderwater.com to claim your discount.

Turning winter into opportunity
Winter isn’t a pause; it’s preparation. With consistent pool time and targeted classroom learning, you’ll enter next season already comfortable and competent. Imagine stepping into spring with buoyancy locked in, gear knowledge sorted, and the confidence to handle new environments. That’s what training now delivers.
Stay sharp: Keep skills current in a calm, controlled setting.
Get confident: Practice regularly without open-water pressure.
Level up: Take theory that transforms real-world diving.
Scuba diving: Learn, practice, perfect
Our scuba pathway blends classroom and pool training to give you both the knowledge and the hands-on skills you need. Each course is designed to make next year’s dives safer, smoother, and more rewarding — whether that’s longer bottom times, better trim, or smarter decision-making underwater.
Classroom courses

Equipment Techniques: Care for and troubleshoot your gear so you’re confident before every dive.

Freediving: The art of breath and flow
Freediving thrives on consistency and calm. Winter pool coaching is ideal for honing technique without distractions: cleaner entries, smoother kick cycles, better streamlining, and deeper relaxation. You’ll improve faster in a pool than you might expect — and carry those gains into open water when the season turns.
Freediving Coaching: Improve breath-hold, streamline technique, and build relaxation in a safe, supported setting.
Ecology courses: Dive with purpose
If you love the ocean, learning how it works changes everything. Our ecology courses turn curiosity into knowledge, so every dive becomes richer and more responsible. Understanding habitats, species, and behaviours helps you spot more, impact less, and contribute to conservation through smarter choices.
Marine Ecology: See how ecosystems function and how divers can protect them.
Coral Identification: Recognise coral species and understand their importance to reef health.
Fish Identification: Identify common species and appreciate their roles in the underwater world.
Call to action: Pair ecology with Perfect Buoyancy for low-impact, high-awareness diving next season.
More than just training
Pool time isn’t only about ticking boxes. It’s a chance to reconnect with the water and your community. Test new kit, refine your trim, and build comfort at your own pace. That consistency pays off when you head back to open water: less stress, better control, more enjoyment.
Practice: Make buoyancy and trim second nature.
Test gear: Try equipment in a safe, forgiving environment.
Belong: Train alongside divers and freedivers who share your passion.
Dive into next year prepared
The strongest dives start long before you hit the water. Invest in your skills now, and step into spring ready for deeper dives, longer adventures, and unforgettable experiences. Spaces are limited — secure your plan and take advantage of the winter discount while it lasts.
