If you have any doubts regarding your health condition, please remember to bring a medical certificate from your doctor.
Scuba Diver Certification
The Scuba Diver course is the first step toward an international dive certification. The course is great fun and doesn't take long. After successfully completing it, you'll be certified to scuba dive and able to dive all over the world when accompanied by an instructor or divemaster. You must be at least 10 years old to join, and the maximum depth is 12 meters.
You have the option to learn some of the theory online beforehand. Alternatively, at our dive center you will watch videos, read the modules in the Open Water manual, complete the knowledge review questions, and take the quizzes. You will then go to the pool for confined water training and complete two open water dives.
As you gain experience, you may want to dive with friends. This program allows you to build up to the level of Certified Open Water Diver, where you no longer need to be accompanied by an instructor or divemaster.
If you have any doubts regarding your health condition, please remember to bring a medical certificate from your doctor.
Open Water Diver Certification
The Open Water Diver certification is a complete course that can be taken by any beginner from the age of 10. You'll learn what is needed to dive safely and independently while also having lots of fun.
Achieving Open Water Diver certification requires professional instruction covering five modules of video, five modules of reading, knowledge review questions in the Open Water manual, four quizzes, and a final exam. You will also complete five confined water training dives in the pool and four open water training dives until you master the skills needed to scuba dive safely in the open sea. OWD certification is the key to a vast and fascinating underwater kingdom.
If you have any doubts regarding your health condition, please remember to bring a medical certificate from your doctor.

Are you interested in learning how to rescue a diver? The Rescue Diver course teaches you how to handle diver emergencies and is an important step in expanding your knowledge beyond the Advanced level. You'll learn to look beyond yourself and consider the safety and well-being of other divers. Although this course is serious, it is an enjoyable way to build your confidence and skills through diving.
Rescue and stress training will help you anticipate problems and, if necessary, manage dive emergencies. During the five open water sessions, you'll cover:
• Self-rescue and diver stress
• Dive first aid
• Emergency management and equipment
• Swimming and non-swimming assists
• Panicked diver response
• Underwater problems
• Missing diver procedures
• Surfacing the unconscious diver

Master Diver
When you have completed five specialties, the Rescue Diver course, and Emergency First Response, you have achieved a great deal. You are now entitled to the highest recreational level before becoming a professional Dive Guide. Well done!
Divemaster / Dive Guide Professional
This is the first level as a professional diver. You can also choose to be a recreational (non-professional) divemaster if you are simply interested in learning more about diving and the theory behind it. Or perhaps your dream is to work in the dive industry and eventually become a scuba instructor—this is the right step to take.
