Programme
After completing the booking, you will have the choice between eLearning and on-site theory lecture.
- eLearning:
If you choose the eLearning option, we will send you access to the online study programme which you will need to complete before the course start date. On the first day of your course, all you need to do is present the confirmation you received from the eLearning platform to prove that you have passed the theoretical part of the course. You will then be able to go straight to the practical part with your instructor.
- On-site theory lecture:
If you choose the option of taking the theory course on site, you will learn all about scuba diving theory in a classroom at the dive centre with one of our instructors after your practical applications.
- Kick-off:
We'll welcome you to our diving club, or if you prefer, we can arrange a free-of-charge pickup service from your hotel in Agios Nikolaos that will be arranged after completed booking. Our training starts with theoretical sessions and dives in a protected area from the shore, where our experienced instructor will guide you through the basics of diving. Once you've mastered the fundamentals, we'll embark on our boat to explore various carefully selected dive sites. There, you'll enjoy underwater exploration lasting approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour per dive. You have the choice between a more or less intensive training program, lasting 2 to 3 days, depending on your availability and level.
