OPEN WATER

This is the most popular diving course in the world, and it’s your passport to adventure. The only requirements needed are the following: good health, reasonable fitness and comfort in the water, and be at least 10 years old.

You’ll obtain your PADI Open Water Diver certificate. Gain knowledge; develop skills and techniques which will enable you to dive anywhere in the world.

Learn how to plan your dives with the air dive table, comfortably descend without compensation problems, safely ascend -“SAFE DIVER” (slowly ascend from every dive) and, in your dives, buoyancy control and air consumption will be better time and again and you’ll be able to identify the different fish, corals and organisms in the marine environment, developing a broad awareness on environmental protection.

ADVANCED

How deep do you want to go? This course does not require written tests, or pool practice… you learn as you dive. What interests you? Night dives, multilevel diving, navigation by compass, deep sea or drift diving? Do you want to master the diving round in order to enjoy longer dives? Do you want to gain better body control so as to be able to make your safety stop at the required moment, position and depth?

This, and much more is offered by the advanced open water diver course.

EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONSE

The Emergency First Response primary (CPR) and secondary care (first aid) follow the Basic Life Support (BLS) Workgroup emergency protocols of the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR). Produced by DSTA (Diving Science and Technology Corp.).

This is a course which, while it is a prerequisite for the RESCUE course, is not exclusively for divers; it is ideal for high school or college student groups, or companies who wish to implement an emergency response system.

It teaches the steps and techniques to follow for handling life-threatening emergencies.
