Diving courses · PADI
Beginner courses
No experience needed. Choose how you want to start: from a short taster to a full certification.
Each of these courses is a step forward. You can start with a try dive and move on to a full Open Water Diver certification, and completed elements can often be credited toward the next course.
Try dive
Your first breaths underwater in a pool, with no certification and no experience.
PADI Discover Scuba Diving (DSD)
Your first dive with an instructor: briefing, skills and a real dive, no certification needed.
PADI Scuba Diver
A short route to certification when you are short on time: dive to 12 m with a PADI professional.
PADI Open Water Diver
The world’s most popular entry-level scuba course and your first full certification.
PADI Bubblemaker
A playful first breath underwater in a pool for the youngest.
Scope, prerequisites and length are confirmed at enrolment, because PADI standards can change.
Before you start

The Tsereve Challenge: Everest in reverse
100+ metres is the Mount Everest of scuba diving. Far fewer people have dived that deep than have stood on top of Everest. Join the challenge: training, warm-up dives and the descent to 100+ m. Start from zero or from any point in your diving, even as a Tec Trimix 65 diver.
The final programme includes a certificate and a t-shirt. We run it in cooperation with Dive Aqaba.
