DIVING COURSES
If you'd like to extend your dive knowledge and skills in small groups with a relaxed atmosphere, then this is the place for you! We offer PADI courses starting from Scuba Diver and going through to Divemaster. Our multilingual dive instructors attend to every student individually, thoroughly educating them while making sure they have lots of fun. As with all our diving activities our courses start on demand and can be adapted to your needs.
On request we tailor you a dive course package including accommodation.
PADI SCUBA DIVER
If you haven't got time to do the whole PADI Open Water course, you can do the shorter version, our PADI Scuba Diver program.
It's equivalent to roughly half the Open Water course. Through both theory and practice sessions, you'll gain basic knowledge and your first dive skills. After you finish the PADI Scuba Diver course, you'll receive your first globally recognised scuba diving certificate. With that, you're allowed to dive to a maximum depth of 12 metres under the direct supervision of a PADI professional (Divemaster, Assistant Instructor or Instructor).
Your PADI Scuba Diver certification will count towards your PADI Open Water Diver course if you decide later on to become fully certified.

PADI RESCUE DIVER
How do you react correctly in a diving accident? How do you provide first aid? And how do you avoid diving emergencies and problems?
You will learn this and much more on the PADI Rescue Diver course. In theory and practice, you not only learn to recognize problems before they occur, but also how to provide efficient help in a real life emergency. The Rescue Diver goes far beyond a normal first aid course and deals with diving-specific problems and accidents.
You prepare yourself for the theory part of the course in advance using e-learning or a book.
In two training sessions in shallow water you will learn and practice techniques for self-rescue, rescuing panicked and unconscious divers and much more.
You will then put your newly acquired skills to the test in simulated training scenarios in open water.
The PADI Rescue Diver course is recognized as one of the most challenging yet rewarding courses you can do.
