PADI Courses
Beginner Courses:
The school is offering several begginer courses in the format of PADI's Discover Scuba Diving in different locations and lenghts.
Open Water Diver
Your Open Water license is the first level of diving certification – your ticket to exciting adventures in the underwater world. This license enables you to dive at destinations all over the world to a depth not exceeding 18 meters with a buddy who is also a certified diver.
The open water course is divided into modules consisting of video, academic sessions, training in confined water and four exciting open water dives. The schedule is flexible, but the course usually takes about 3-4 days. Don’t worry about being ‘rushed through’ a programme. The course is performance based, so you will have as much time as you need to practice your new skills before certification. Our class sizes are small, usually a maximum of 4 students meaning you will have your instructor’s undivided attention as you work your way through the programme.
Advanced Courses
Advanced Open Water
once you’re a certified open water diver, what’s next? You can become a PADI advanced open water diver! GO DEEP! Get certified to dive to 30 metres with a buddy, gain confidence and experience in navigating your way around a dive site. Hone and perfect your diving skills while having fun.

This is an action packed course and lasts about 3 days including the emergency first responder course.
