Our PADI, CMAS, SSI Education, from Beginner to Professional level


"Pool session at Indigo Pearl"

     

Today diving is so safe that the new diving generation is getting always younger. At the age of eight years your kids can start diving with the "Bubblemaker-Course", with an instructor in our pool.

Everybody who wants to try the incredible feeling of breathing underwater and diving can do a Trial Dive anytime in the Divecenter Pool.

You will become enthusiastic and perhaps decide to go for another dive in the open sea. This is possible, too. Of course only accompanied with one of our experienced Instructors. Now, without wasting time, you are a  "Discover Scuba Diver".

With the “Scuba Diver” course, you will learn the basics in dive theory and after training in the pool, you will do two open water dives. With this certification you are allowed to dive with a divemaster or instructor up to a maximum depth of 12 meters. And should you wish to train further, this course credits to half of the open water course, meaning just do the other half and you will be Open Water Diver.

  
Private Course bookings possible !!

To dive independently, worldwide, whenever you would like to enjoy the feeling of being without gravity and encounter the wonderful underwater world, you'll need the certification of "PADI Open Water Diver" or equivalent "CMAS * (Bronze-) Diver".

Learn more about dive theory in 2 morning-lessons in our classroom and practice everything directly in the pool in the afternoon. Over the two following days, you will use your new knowledge with an instructor in the open sea, whilst enjoying four incredible dives.

You will have a lot of fun, meeting new friends and sharing experiences. Divers are special people!
Directly after your training as Open Water Diver it is easy to go further

The “Advanced Open Water Diver” opens the door on new adventures. Still learning in a safe and easy way, you will discover the endless possibilities of underwater activities.
For example dive to a depth of 30 metres to explore the marine life down there with a Deepdive. Lost objects can be searched for and recovered during a Search and Recovery Dive. Your favourite dive site can be visited after the sunset in a fascinating Nightdive. Let the current carry you with a Driftdive or learn to find your way and to use a compass with the Navigation Dive. Learn the skills of diving in lost worlds with a Wreckdive, increase your knowledge of the marine life in an UW- Naturalist dive or discover the basic skills of Boatdiving.

The course takes you only 2 days! Five special dives, together with your instructor, increases your knowledge and experience in diving. The Deepdive and the Navigation dive are compulsory while the other three dives for the certification are for you to choose.

Every hobby involves some risks. For a better knowledge of how to handle dive problems and stressful situations, to prevent these before they happen , the PADI Rescue Diver Course gives you in just five days the perfect training. A level you should think about reaching to be a responsible diver

For this course you have to be certified as an Advanced Open Water Diver and you will need a certificate confirming your successful participation in a medic first aid course, which should not be older than two years. You don't have one? No problem! You can do this "Emergency First Response Course" here, in one day with our very experienced EFR- Instructor.

Equally we offer the "CMAS ** (Silver-) Diver".

To qualify as a Scuba-, Open Water-, Advanced Open Water- and Rescue Diver you should be at least 15 years old. From 12 years up to 15 years we offer the same courses and certifications but in a "Junior-Version". The only difference is the depth limit for the Junior Advance Open Water at 21 metres.

A variety of "Speciality Courses" will help you, to find out, what kind of diving you prefer.

Most of the programme gives you the background information and involve reading, watching exciting videos and talking about it before the dive. Choose Two to four specialities, (i.e. under water-photography, diving with enriched air (Nitrox), altitude diving, drift diving, search and recovery…), will make a very well educated diver out of you!

By completing five of these speciality courses, you will reach the "Master Scuba Diver" level, the highest distinction for recreational PADI-Divers.
