Beginner Training

Become part of a fantastic world

For all newcomers we offer the internationally accepted PADI dive training. The courses take (depending on the variant) 3, 4 or 5 days. PADI is probably the most famous diving organisation in the world, therefore your training is recognised almost everywhere on earth. 

The minimum age for a diving license is 10 years. Courses start several times a week by arrangement, according to the travel dates of the participants.

Different possibilities for beginner trainings

You always wanted to learn to dive? Experience fantastic adventures under water? See the world under the surface? Then you've come to the right place!

Take a PADI Open Water Diver course to become a diver. Upon successful completion, you will receive your first "Brevet" (i.e. your PADI diver certification). The PADI "OWD Course" is the world's most popular diving course and your certification is recognized almost everywhere. Countless people have already taken this course to get into the world of diving and discover the wonders of the underwater world.

The PADI Open Diver course consists of three parts: 

  • The development of theoretical knowledge (online, as self-study or in the classroom) This is how you understand the basic principles of diving.
  • Dives in "Confined Water" (at our house reef) to learn the basic diving skills 
  • Open water dives (boat dives) to apply your skills and explore the underwater world.

To take the PADI Open Water Diver Course (or PADI Junior Open Water Diver Course) you must be at least 10 years old. You must be able to swim properly and be in good health. Previous diving experience is not necessary.

The PADI Scuba Diver (SD) and PADI Open Water Diver (OWD) start together. Because the PADI Scuba Diver (minimum age 10 years) is only a part of the Open Water Diver (minimum age 10 years), the PADI Scuba Diver (SD) is finished on the third day with only 2 open water dives.

The course participant will also receive an internationally recognized brevet for this course. However, he or she is restricted in terms of diving depth (max. 12 metres). You always need a diving professional at your side when diving. This can cause additional costs.

This course is an ideal introduction for those who are not yet quite sure about the subject or have less time available on holiday. Since both courses have the same start date, you can easily upgrade from Scuba Diver to OWD during the course. The missing course day can easily be rebooked on site. This way you will receive a full PADI Open Water Diver certification upon completion.

A special feature we offer is that every Scuba Diver student can complete the theory of the OWD course. This will be certified and can be credited in a later OWD training.

If you have completed your theory and pool training at your local diving school, you are welcome to complete your dive training with us in the warm and colourful Red Sea.

The still missing open water dives will then be done with one of our instructors. Prerequisite for this is that the diving instructor of your dive center at home issues a transfer form. This has to be presented at the registration.

Based on this certificate you can join an ongoing diving course and finish your diving education in 2 or 3 days.

From the third day on we start again at 08:15 in the morning for one, two or three full day trips (2 dives per trip), with a total of 2 to 6 dives from the boat.
