Goal of the course
In this course, you will learn everything about diving. Beginning with the theoretical basics up to practical skills, after this course, you will feel as comfortable underwater as above the water. With the worldwide recognized OWD certification, you can rent or buy diving equipment and dive independently with a buddy.
Meeting & Preparation
We meet at the booked time at our diving centre in Machico. If you arrive by car, parking is widely available nearby. There you will get your diving equipment from us. Your instructor will show you our dive centre and when everyone is ready we will start with the theoretical introduction before we go into the water. On your first dive, you will be cared for 1 on 1 by your instructor.
