What will I learn in the course?
Next to a lot of diving, we will teach you 4 specialties. These specialties are no big courses, but each of them will provide you with more knowledge about a certain area. For example, in the Deep Diver specialty, you learn what’s important when making dives up to 40 meters (130 ft). If you choose the Navigation specialty, we teach you all the ins and outs of finding your way around the divesite. We even have a Shark Diver specialty, where you learn a lot of interesting things about these beautiful animals. You choose the specialties that interest you most. For each specialty there is a manual and sometimes a DVD. Your instructor will teach you how to use this theory in practice and then we spend at least two dives on the topic of each specialty course. For the deep diver, we dive deeper. If you choose the Nitrox specialty you dive on Nitrox and with the Night and Limited Visibility Specialty you can lead us on a night dive. Don’t worry about the theory, it’s not difficult and it’s not a lot.
Next to the specialties we also aim to make you an experienced diver. That means we will concentrate on proper and safe diving procedures, dive planning and of course leading other divers on a divesite. You will notice that by the end of the course your confidence has grown immensely and that you know how to deal with most diving conditions. Learn how to recognize and deal with currents, waves on the surface and taking care of your dive buddies. When you are a Master Diver you are a good diver.

All Courses are to the strictest training standards and we will cut no corners. Courses are done with SSI (Scuba Schools International), unless otherwise noted. The same course can be conducted as a PADI Master Scuba Diver course – but there will be a surcharge as PADI requires the purchase of the books and materials as part of the course – SSI does not. Otherwise there is no difference in standards or safety between the two systems.
