PADI
PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) is the largest dive training organisation and certifies more divers than all the rest of the dive training organisations in the world put together. With a PADI Certification you can guarantee that your qualification will be recognised universally, wherever you are in the world.
All PADI courses are modular and structured in a way that helps you build on the previous skills and knowledge that you have already mastered. The teaching aids that are used are colourful and easy to read so that even a person with no previous knowledge of SCUBA diving will completely understand. Your instructor is there to assist and guide you through the learning process, giving you the extra little hints that makes you not just a diver but a fully competent and confident diver.
Any child from 8 years old is welcome to try Bubble Maker. This is a great, fun adventure and very worthwhile experience for curious children. All mini divers will have fun with their PADI Instructor on a one to one basis to guarantee the best safety and attention for them. We supply special equipment for children – small lightweight tanks to make their first dive as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
This dive will be in shallow water (max 2m) only in the best sea conditions from our private ‘Punta Pedalo’ beach.
This is an amazing adventure for everyone who wants to see the world under the water with their own eyes and decide whether to continue to get an Open Water Certification. Anyone from the age of 10 can experience this fantastic day that will be an unforgettable memory for the rest of your life.
Discover Scuba Diving begins with an introduction to the world of scuba diving and the wonderful marine life and world waiting to greet you when you descend for the first time. Your first dive will be a shallow dive from our private ‘Punta Pedalo’ beach with your instructor so you can gain a few simple, but fundamental diving skills to prepare you and give you confidence before your second, deeper dive.
Once you have completed the skills, you can do your second dive – you will go a bit deeper (12 mt max) – you will love feeling the freedom of being weightless, like you are flying…. your fun is just beginning! Congratulations you have gained your first diving diploma in only 1 day!!
From this point you can carry on straightaway and get your PADI Open Water Certification or if you don’t have the time this trip….that’s ok. Your Discover Scuba Diving Diploma is valid for one year so you can choose another time to do it.
This course has been created with the holidaymaker in mind. In only 3 days you can gain this certification that will allow you to dive in any PADI dive
