Frequently Asked Questions

help Do I need to be an expert swimmer to get certified?

No. For the PADI Open Water course, you only need to be able to float/tread water comfortably for 10 minutes and complete a relaxed 200-meter continuous swim (no time limit, any stroke). For Discover Scuba Diving, no swimming test is required at all.

help Is scuba equipment included in the course fee?

No, scuba equipment is not included in the course tuition. You are welcome to bring your own personal gear, or rent full equipment directly on-site at our dive center for 25 € per day. If you already have some gear, you can also rent individual pieces: Regulator (9 €), B.C.D (9 €), Long wetsuit 5.5mm (7 €), Mask & snorkel (3 €), Pair of fins (3 €), Torch (8 €), Dive computer (9 €), or Nitrox 12L cylinder (3 €). Tanks and weights are always provided on dive boats.

help Are course dives conducted from your luxury boats?

Yes! Initial confined sessions take place in shallow calm lagoons, followed by full-day boat excursions aboard our luxury vessels to Ras Mohammed National Park or Tiran Island with chef-prepared lunch and refreshments included onboard.

help Is the certification valid worldwide?

100% yes. PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors) is the world's largest and most universally recognized scuba agency. Your digital e-card is valid forever in any dive center across 180+ countries.
