Program -

The course consists of three important parts: the theory, the swimming pool sessions and open water sessions. Each component plays an important role in mastering all the skills involved in a dive. Overnight stays are standard in dome tents with camp beds and shared facilities. An upgrade is possible on request. Ask us about the additional price.

Back to the school desks! You follow the theory lessons in the classroom. Your instructor will teach you everything to dive. In between you will be tested a number of times and at the end of the theory lessons an exam will be taken. If you pass this, you have the knowledge to be able to dive safely.

Of course you also put the theory into practice. First safe in a swimming pool. You make a total of five pool dives where you learn and practice various skills. Consider, for example, clearing your ears, blowing out a mask filled with water, putting your mask on and off and what to do if you lose your mouthpiece. You must also be able to float for at least 10 minutes and swim 200 meters before your diving instructor takes you to the open sea!

Time for the real adventure. In the meantime, you probably already feel quite comfortable under water. You also practice your skills during these dives at sea, but there is certainly time to enjoy yourself. You can make an 18 meter deep dive to ‘2 Mile Reef’. After you have mastered all skills, finish the course with a fun dive. Enjoy the many different types of tropical fish and the beautiful hard and soft corals in Sondwana Bay!

You spend the night in the safari tents.
