Discover Scuba Diving (DSD): is the well established half-day “try dive” course for complete beginners and is an easy and fun introduction into diving.
It takes place in the shallow lagoon of Kuramathi and with maximum four participants per instructor. The course is just two and a half hours, but you will discover the amazing appeal and wonder of scuba diving (i.e. the feeling of weightlessness, breathing underwater, swimming with and like a fish, etc.)

Open Water Diver (OWD): After your first experience you have several options if you want to do more. This course takes 4 days including the Discover and with three dives off the boat on the outside reef (and one in the lagoon) you have a great opportunity to see turtles, rays, sharks, morays and numerous other reef fish.

The PADI Scuba Diver: is a 2 day course (including the DSD) and includes one dive off the boat. This certificate allows the holder to dive to max. 12m, but always accompanied by a PADI professional. The course is effectively the first half of the Open Water Diver course and is upgradeable to the OWD any time in the future.

The Open Water Referral method: is a great option if you are keen to get into the balmy waters of the Indian Ocean as soon as possible and/or avoid any sort of study while on holiday. With this option you complete the theoretical study and pool training dives with a dive school at home and then arrive here with your signed referral form from your instructor.

Diving for kids: this course can be attended by kids from 8 years old but clearly it’s a very gentle introduction and at a maximum depth of just two meters.
Many parents decide to learn to dive with their children, but if not, our instructors will always take care of the kids and ensure they have a safe and fun experience.
From 10 years of age children can even obtain a junior diving certification.
 

Nitrox courses: We offer several nitrox course options which are very straightforward, include two dives and are good value.

The advanced certificate(PADI or SSI): The Advanced is just five dives and is a lot of fun with minimal theory.

Speciality courses: We offer a wide range of specialties so you can learn more about a specific area of diving that may particularly appeal to you.
