PADI Scuba Diver:

Course time: 2 days

Max. Depth: 12 meters

You ever tried a discover scuba dive? Or you just decided you want to dive in the unknown mysteries of the deep? Becoming a PADI scuba diver is the first step to become a certified diver!

Being a Scuba diver is the perfect level if you only do guided dives on your holiday or at home. After only three theory sessions, containing useful and important information on how to dive safely and confidently, you're ready for the water.

Only three confined water dives later you are ready to start with the two open water dives to finish your PADI Scuba Diver Course!

 PADI Open Water Diver:

              Course time: 2 to 3 days               

Max. Depth: 18 meters

This is your first step to be an independent and certified diver! Dive independently of an instructor or divemaster, together with your licenced friends at home or on holiday anywhere on the globe! New doors will open for you to explore the underwater life!

Your course will consist of five theory sessions, teaching you how your scuba gear works and how to use it, why you always dive with a buddy and of course, how to do your own dive planning so you can enjoy the deep blue without the help of your divemaster or instructor. You will be taught how to solve and deal with possible problems.

Of course you will get in the water as soon as possible. This is where you start the confined water dives after every theory session. You will learn skills to make your dives nice and comfortable. Hover like a fish and glide through the water like a turtle!

Open water time! When you are done with all the confined skills and exercises it's time to check out the blue. You will be taken to the deeper waters where  you will finish the last skills and go on lovely tours to check out the waters here. Four of these dives are needed to finish your PADI Open Water Course

                                   PADI Scuba Review

Are you a certified diver of any level but haven´t dived for quite some time? You've lost your confidence in the water? Refresh your skills with the PADI Scuba Review Program.

The Scuba Review Program consists of a tune-up of your theoretical knowledge. After this short tune-up you're ready to enter the water again. Together with our certified staff you will do exercises to refresh your skills.

PADI Advanced Open Water

                         Course time: 2 days                    

Max. Depth: 30 meters

Are you a PADI Open Water diver or a similar level with another organisation? Looking for more? Want to explore the deeper waters and learn to navigate? Visit beautiful wrecks? Or learn to handle yourself in a current? Perhaps learn the art of underwater photography? It's all possible! Become a PADI Advanced Open Water diver!

The PADI Advanced Open Water course allows you to visit the places too far away for the Open Water Diver. You are trained and licenced to go beyond the 18 meter boundary to a maximum of 30 meters. AND how to find your way back! Yes, you get training in underwater navigation too! A compass won´t be a mystery to you anymore and even natural navigation starts to makes sense! This is a method of navigation that is most reliable. A big rock, strange rock formation or a slope to the shallows is never going to move!!

These two adventure dives are a must in the Advanced Open Water Course. From the five required, you can now choose another three from a huge list of options for your certification.

The adventures are endless.

Emergency First Response

Have you ever been in a emergency? Did you require assistance or someone else needed help but you didn't know what to do? Too many people die every year because others can't help. Help put a stop to this by taking the EFR Course!

The EFR certification is a Internationally recognised licence. It has been developed to help people in need, such as heart attack victims, or help out with small accidents, like a simple cut in the arm. It consists of two chapters, combined with theoretical knowledge and most importantly, practical skills.

The first part of the course is called the Primary Care. Here you will learn the first steps to take if there is an emergency. CPR and respiration breaths are vitally important here.

The second part of the course is Secondary Care. All non life threatening emergencies are secondary care. In this chapter you will learn about serious bleeding management, assisting a person suffering from shock and helping this person until the paramedics arive.

This course is always useful wherever you are, around the house to help your children, at work or on vacation. You're always ready to help!

PADI Rescue Diver

              Course time: 3 days                   

Are you a PADI Advanced Open Water Diver or similar level with 20 logged dives? Have you got your EFR or similar certification or you're planning to do it in combination with the course? Ever experienced a paniced diver situation? Or even worse, had a problem with a missing diver? Didn't know what to do? You had to watch how other divers jumped in and helped? We strongly recommend the PADI Rescue Diver Course!

The course will start with six chapters of theoretical knowledge. These chapters will provide you with the knowledge to carry out self-rescue, recognise and handle diver stress and be competant with the use of first aid equipment and procedures. You'll also learn how to organize emergencies, how to handle and recognize problems with equipment and identify divers who need help and so on.

In the water the fun begins! You'll have to rescue a responsive diver on the surface and down below as well. Getting this diver out of the water and removing all his and your equipment are skills you'll learn too. All these skills you'll have to do with an unconscious diver as well, but not a real one you´ll be glad to hear!

The PADI Rescue Diver Course is deadly serious, but also the most fun course we can offer to you! And it could be your last step before going pro!

PADI Divemaster

     Course time: Dependent of the intensity     

(please contact us for further details)

Are you looking for a way to expand your knowledge? You feel your knowledge and enthusiasm will be useful to others? Want to take matters in to your own hands? Maybe you are considering turning your hobby into your profession? Go pro with the PADI Divemaster Course!

The PADI Divemaster course is the most intensive and knowledge gathering course PADI has to offer to you. Your theoretical skills and knowledge will be enhanced more than you can imagine. The training manual you will work to has eight chapters, each one just as or even more important then the other. Programs a divemaster will be able to participate in include supervising certified divers, assisting with courses including classroom lessons in physics, physiology, equipment, etc and, just as importantly, decompression theory together with using the RDP (Recreational Dive Planner). There are final exams which, obviously, you will need to pass!

In the water, all the skills you learned from your Open Water through to rescue course, will all get a fine tune, enabling you to execute all these at instructor (demonstration) level. But don't get frightened by all this as there is a whole lot of fun in it as well! During the course you'll be trained to lead dives and keep a keen eye on your dive group. You will handle all the logistics too. But maybe most important of all, your presence will make your divers feel relaxed and confident.

Your role will be as the big ``rock`` to lean on. During courses or when you are merely diving with certified divers, these people will almost certainly turn to you for advise or even emotional comfort. You will be asked all kinds of questions. One should never underestimate the key role a Divemaster plays.

So are you 18 years or older? Have you logged 20 dives or more? Are you in possession of an EFR certification (or simular) current within the last 24 months and are you a PADI Rescue Diver (or similar)?  Finally, have you got medical clearance to dive, provided by a physician within  the last 12 months?

Contact us and take our hand. Let us guide you to becoming one of the most important professionals in the dive world! We'll show you the wonders of sharing your knowledge for the benefit of others!
