Combine your Open Water course and a liveaboard trip!

Our instructors are very experienced and they will teach you all your Open Water Diver course in a relaxed, safe and fun 5 day course. You will learn all the necessary theory and waterskills to become a confident diver during the course. After completion of the course you will receive the Open Water Diver certification, which is recognized throughout the world and allows you to make great dives anywhere in the world. The first two days of the course are spent on land. On day one we will do theory and the swimming pool excercises to get you comfortable with the gear and breathing under water as well as basic skills like swimming and floating. On the second day we will finish your theory and skills. On day three we leave with the boat for proper open water diving! Typically we have a total of 8 or 9 dives on the schedule and in between the dives there is plenty of time to relax, enjoy our great food and even make a beach trip. After completion of the course, you will become certified as an internationally recognized Open Water Diver. But since you are already on our liveaboard, we just continue diving and you will notice that these extra dives really help to increase your confidence and experience. And of course you have the chance to see more of the marine life.
