Internationally recognized beginner diving course

A qualified education is the most important thing!

There are several recognized associations around the world where you can get your first diving certificate.
These all offer the beginner's certificate, which is the first step into the diving world for you.

After an initial discussion, we select the appropriate association for you, and train you according to the internationally recognized guidelines.

Important for your start

• Experience diving for the first time while Discover Scuba Diving. This is the first step to determine if diving is for you. Experience the fascination under water!
• The next step is the internationally recognized diving certificate - your entry into the diving world! With the first diving license you can dive all over the world. The beginner courses include first theoretical knowledge, practical diving in shallow water and dives from the boat in deeper water. The diving course will be held according to one of the two largest diving associations (CMAS or PADI). For an additional charge, we can also certify you with both associations.
• The minimum age is 14 years, for young people from 10 years there is the corresponding "Junior" certificate.
• With your diving certificate you can dive all over the world.
