Certified diver
Although a dive certification is valid for life, if it has been a while since your last dive, it's a good idea to refresh your skills with a dive instructor before joining fun dives or taking your course. During your scuba review, our instructors will help you get reacquainted with the underwater world. You will start on the surface, as your instructor reminds you of some essential dive theory and shows you how to set up your equipment, if you're feeling out of practice. Once in the water, your instructor will help you repeat some of the fundamental skills and exercises both on the surface and underwater. Once the skills are complete and you are feeling confident, the rest of the dive is spent exploring the underwater world.
Take your diving skills to the next level with 5 exciting adventure dives. Explore new environments and dive deeper while mastering techniques to boost your confidence underwater. With the Advanced certification you can dive to 30 metres.

PADI Rescue Diver certification
The Divemaster Program is your first step into the professional diving world. If you feel like becoming a leader or a mentor and a respected PADI Professional, you are on the right path.
Becoming a Divemaster allows you to work as a Dive Guide around the world. You will have the opportunity to earn a living doing something you love and that others only dream about: leading new and experienced divers and sharing your passion.
It’s time to do something different, challenge yourself, and take what may be a life-changing step.
You will work closely with our instructors. They will teach and help you to improve your dive theory knowledge and in-water skills. The big benefit of taking the Divemaster course in Bali is that you can experience a range of diving conditions. You’ll develop better buoyancy, better movement in the water, you’ll dive with greater confidence and learn more about the different types of diving equipment. You will refine your rescue skills to better anticipate and easily solve problems in the ocean.
You’ll learn how to read currents and understand the tides. You will also improve your own diving knowledge: about currents, about equipment, about the human body and how diving affects it, about depth and pressure and the air we breathe. You’ll learn about our beautiful oceans. How precious and fragile they are and how to protect them.
You will learn how to give effective, professional dive briefings. At the end of the course you will be able to guide and supervise certified divers, supervise training activities, conduct scuba reviews and skin diver courses, assist in Discover Scuba Diver programs and be a role model to divers.

Adventure Diver cert. (incl. Navigation dive); Medically fit
While scuba diving is a very safe sport, the PADI Rescue Diver course prepares you to deal with dive emergencies, minor and major (above and below the surface), using a variety of techniques. Through knowledge development and rescue exercises, you learn what to look for and how to respond. During rescue scenarios, you put into practice your knowledge and skills. The different topics include: Self rescue, recognising and managing panic, fear and stress in other divers and ultimately being equipped to prevent emergency situations and provide emergency care if necessary.
During the course you will learn many new skills: how to assist a tired diver at the surface and underwater, a panicked diver at the surface and underwater. You will practise search patterns underwater with the aid of a compass to help you locate a missing buddy. You will learn how to surface, assess and transport an unresponsive diver with appropriate recovery for restoring breathing. You will also learn methods for exiting an unresponsive diver from the water.
Prepare to teach emergency care skills, gain practical experience, or meet PADI IDC prerequisites for a successful career in diving education.

Nadia
I became a dive instructor because diving is more than a passion to me — it is something I love sharing with others.
Before this, I worked as a nurse, so caring for people has always been part of who I am. Today, I bring that same patience, trust, and heart underwater.
Seeing someone overcome fear, grow in confidence, and fall in love with diving is what makes this job so special to me.
