Beginner Training
Become part of a fascinating world
For all beginners, we offer internationally recognized PADI dive training. The Open Water course lasts three days, and you can conveniently complete the theory part from home using the PADI e-learning program. PADI is a globally renowned diving organization, which means your certification will be recognized almost anywhere in the world.
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
PADI Open Water Diver
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 is done online through self-study with the PADI e-learning program. This way, you’ll understand the basic principles of diving.
- Dives in confined open water (at our lagoon) 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.
PADI Scuba Diver
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 also receives an internationally recognized brevet for this course. However, he is limited regarding the diving depth (max. 12 meters). He always needs a diving professional at his side when diving. This can lead to additional costs.
This course is an ideal introduction for all those who are not quite sure about the subject or have less time available on holiday. Since both courses have the same start, 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.
Completion of an OWD course
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 days.
Procedure of a PADI Open Water Diver course
Day 1
On the first day, we start at 8:30 AM and, after getting to know each other, usually begin with a water session at our house reef. In the afternoon, we head back into the confined open water (lagoon) for more practice. The first day of the course ends around 4:00 PM.
Day 2 and 3
From the second day onwards, we start again at 8:00 AM for one or two full-day trips (2 dives per trip), with a total of 2 to 4 boat dives. The number of dives depends on the chosen certification level (Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver). Our dive courses usually have a dedicated boat. We typically return to the harbor around 4:30 PM.
