Pro Tip: While diver training is performance based not time based, we acknowledge that not everyone learns at the same speed. Unfortunately the most common reason why people can't get certified is the lack of time. We do offer additional training for those who need more time to master certain skills.

Please Note:

  1. Our courses typically begin at 8:30 AM at the dive shop and finish around 4:00 PM each day. Please plan your day accordingly.
  2. All participants must be able to swim and feel confident in water too deep to stand in. As part of the course, you will be required to:
    • Tread water for 10 minutes
    • Swim 200 meters continuously without stopping or using flotation aids
  3. Confined Water Training will take place in shallow ocean water or a swimming pool, depending on availability and conditions.
  4. Instruction is primarily offered in English and German. Online study materials are available in multiple languages for your convenience.
  5. Training is purchased, but certification is earned. If you need more time to meet the performance requirements, we are happy to offer additional training sessions to help you reach your goals.
  6. For your safety, please do not fly for 18–24 hours after your last dive. Keep this in mind when planning your travel schedule.
