Training & diving courses

In addition to our daily diving, we offer a wide range of courses to get you started or to further your diving education. From Open-Water to Instructor courses we offer all levels of certification using the internationally recognised standards of SSI, Internatinatial Aquanautic Club (IAC), CMAS or PADI.

Intro-dives: If you would like to see what diving is all about, then we offer introductory dives of 30 minutes. In a maximum depth of 5 metres of water, you will experience the beauty of the underwater world. This service is offered on an individual basis with a diving instructor.

Open Water: A four day course with a maximum of six people in a group. At the end of the course you will be able to enjoy recreational diving with confidence and skill. The course is divided into theory classes and practical exercises finishing with four open water dives – two of which will be from the boat on your last day. After completing the course successfully, you will receive your Open Water Diver certification.

Further Education: If you want to take your education further we also offer advanced courses up to SSI Divecon, CMAS*** (gold) and/or PADI Divemaster as well as specialty courses including Nitrox. All specialty courses will be trained and certified after the regulations of SSI, IAC and PADI.

In addition, we offer SSI and CMAS instructor courses.
