Courses for Juniors

Beginners' courses are available for juniors starting from the age of 12 year.

Introduction Dive

scuba diving coursesIf you have never experienced scuba diving and you are not yet sure if you will like diving or not, do not book a Diving Course, but just take an Introduction Dive either in our pool or straight in the sea.

The Experienced Diving Instructor will help you with this and he will give you a short lecture and then give you all the equipment required. He will then take you for an introduction dive where you will be under his great care to enjoy yourself breathing under water and having the first experience in a completely different world.

It is then that you can decide whether you want to take a full course or not. So feel free and come for a try dive.


Free Try Dives

IF YOU DO A TRY DIVE AND THEN DECIDE FOR A FULL OPEN WATER COURSE, THEN, THE TRY DIVE WILL BE FREE OF CHARGE.

PADI Open Water Diver Course

The PADI Open Water Diver Course is the first course (and in our opinion the most important one) within the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (P.A.D.I.). We give great attention and care to this course as during this time you will be hearing new things for the first time and it is important that you get them right from the very beginning. For this reason, as far as possible, WE WILL DO YOUR COURSE IN YOUR OWN LANGUAGE. We believe that in this way you will surely find it easier and eventually safer.We keep the number of students very low as we believe in individual attention.

This course consists of 4 or 5 days of Theory, Pool training and Open Water Training. We start in the safety of our special pool which was built for this purpose as we believe that in the pool, the beginner will obtain great confidence which is not as easy when one starts in the open sea. It is the safety of the pool together with the great ability of the Professional Instructor that will make you get over the primary tension. Once this is over, and you have done the required pool training, then you will be confident and looking forward to go to the sea where you will continue your course.

 

Diving Training Pool

All equipment is included in the price except for the book which we recommend to everyone to buy it at home and read it before coming over. This will save spending the precious holiday time reading the book and the book itself will also serve as a reference for the future. You can still choose to buy it or borrow it for free from our school.

We do not cut corners from our courses just to make the price a little bit cheaper! It might be of interest for you to know that we have been awarded the PADI EDUCATION AWARD for our courses and we want to live up to that high standard.




PADI Open Water - Referral Course

Very often, many people go on a summer holiday and they get a chance to experience scuba diving in nice and warm waters. Not being prepared to take the full course, they will go back home and want to start the course in their own hometown. The only problem might be that it is too cold to do the complete course in their own country.

PADI offers a solution to this little problem, as one can start the theory and also do the pool training (in heated indoor pools) at the local Padi Dive Centre. When it comes to the open water dives, it might be a problem because of freezing waters.

Here we come in to help and will offer you to finish your open water training with us, during your next holiday. All you have to do is to get and bring a Referral Form from your first instructor and then you will do the open water dives with our instructor. This will only take 2 days to finish and so you will also have time enough to do some more dives just for fun with our instructor, who will take you to wonderful dive sites round the islands.

The use of books, full equipment, training, transport to dive sites and back as well as certification are included in the price.

Diving instructors who wish to come over with a group of students to finish their Open Water Dives, are also welcome. Please contact us for more details.



PADI Advanced Open Water Course

This is a follow up to the Padi Open Water Diver Course and unlike the first course, it is more diving than theory. It consists of 5 open water dives, two of which have to be an Underwater Navigation Dive and a Deep Dive. The other three can be any from the list of elective dives. The diver is intended to expose himself to as many different experiences as possible so as to gain more experience and confidence. The student is asked to read the chapter concerning the chosen dives from the "Adventures in Diving" Manual. This, together with a short classroom session given by the Instructor before each dive, is the only theory involved. The course can be finished in two or three days and is full of fun and nice dives.

The use of books, full equipment, transport to and from the dive sites as well as certification are all included in the price.

If you are already certified as an Advanced Diver, we offer more courses. Please ask for more details.



Emergency First Response

This is not a diving course but a comprehensive course First Aid Course including Expired Air and CPR. Lectures are done making use of video or DVDs and a demonstration are done on a Resusicitation model and helped by a Medical Emergency Manual which is ideal to keep as a reference book too.

PADI Rescue Diver Course

Candidates for this course must be Padi Advanced Divers and must be in possession of a EFR (Emergency First Response) certificate. This course is very important and useful not only for those who intend to make diving their profession but also by any diver who wants to be safer and who wants to be able to offer help to others in need.This course will develop skills and knowledge of how to carry out diver rescue as well as avoiding accidents, life saving techniques and managing accidents. There are 6 water training sessions relating to self rescue as well as rescuing others.

PADI Divemaster Course

In order to do this course one must be a certified Rescue Diver with at least 20 logged dives, but before certification a total of 60 dives must have been logged. So ideally, we suggest that one does not rush to do this course before he is confident and experienced as we believe that experience counts. So if one wants to do the course and does not have close to 60 dives, he should take it in at least 6 to 8 weeks so that the experience is built up as he goes along. For more details, please send in your diving C.V. and we will get back to you. This course is very important and has to be taken with responsibility as it is the first course in leadership and considered to be the gateway to a Diving Professional.

 

PADI Assistant Instructor

To do this course, one has to be a certified Padi Divemaster and clients wanting to register for this course should write to us and send their diving C.V. and we will be able to give more details.

SPECIALTIY COURSES

If you are already certified as an Advanced Diver, we offer more courses, referred to as Speciality Courses.In these courses which range from Deep Diver, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Night Diver, Nitrox Diver, etc. one will get more experience and will go more into details regarding these specialities. This will definitely help to make you a more professional diver. These are a must for those who want to advance in their diving career or just want to be better and safer divers.

 

Deep Diver Speciality

This course consists of 4 dives and will give you experience of dives over the 30 metre level under the safe guidance of the instructor. You will also learn to monitor your airconsumption and get more familiar with the Decompression and the effect of Narcosis and how the latter will effect your I.Q, at these depths.

Peek Performance Buoancy Speciality

In my opinion this is a very useful course as good buoyancy will make you a safe diver besides making your dives much more enjoyable as well as keeping your air consumption lower. You will learn the techniques how to maintain excellent buoyancy. It is a 2 dive course.

Night Diver Speciality

This is a 3 dive course and done in 3 days in which you will learn how to dive and find your way in the dark. You will enjoy each dive as during these dives you will see creatures that are not normally visible during the day dives as most fish feed at night. The first dive is started just before dark so as to make it more easy for those who are doing their first night dive.

Wreck Diver Speciality

This is a must for those who love to dive on wrecks as in the 4 dives of this course you will be taught how to dive safely in and around wrecks and what to do and not . This is great fun and very popular.

Nitrox Diver Speciality

Nitrox is a mixture where the percentage of Nitrogen is reduced by adding pure oxygen to normal air. This will allow us to dive longer and is very useful for repeated dives. The higher percentage of oxygen will limit the depths that can be dived with Nitrox. All information about mixtures, how long and how deep a dive can be, will be covered by this course which will include 2 dives using Nitrox.In this course the diver will learn to use 32% and 36% Nitrox mixes with more details regarding the decompression and the oxygen toxicity tables.

Multilevel Diver Speciality

On this 2 dive course, you will learn how to plan your dive in a way that when diving a site with different depths, you can lengthen your dive time and make your dive even safer. You will be taught how to better use the tables, wheel and dive computor.

Underwater Navigator Speciality

This again is a very important course of 3 dives as underwater navigations is very useful during all dives. You will learn how to be able to navigate by using observation skills as well as the use of a compass will render your diving more safe and enjoyable.

Boat Diver Speciality

Nowadays, most dives are done from boats and it is good to know your way around boats and what are the normal procedures on boats dives. These 2 dives will be done in one day which will surely be a great day to remember.
