PADI Courses - Specialty Courses
All our courses are directed by professional PADI Diving Instructors.

PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy Specialty
In this course you will learn the buoyancy fundamentals. During two dives you learn how to precisely weight yourself for optimum control and balance, to ascend and descend effortlessly being neutrally buoyant all the time and to move through the water efficiently and gracefully without harming the environment or yourself.
PADI Digital Underwater Photography Specialty

PADI Project AWARE Specialty
In this (non-diving) course you learn about some of the most pressing problems facing the vulnerable environments and everyday actions you can take to help conserve them. It’s informative, interesting and most importantly you learn how to make a difference. The course takes half a day and you don’t have to be a certified diver to enroll in this course.
DAN Oxygen Provider
In this course you will learn how to recognise possible dive related injuries and to provide emergency oxygen first aid while activating the local emergency medical services (EMS) and/or arranging for evacuation to the nearest available medical facility. It takes 1-2 days and can also be done by non-divers.
Emergency First Response (EFR)
The Emergency First Response (EFR) course covers CPR (Primary Care) and First Aid (Secondary Care). In one day we teach you the techniques and steps for handling life-threatening medical emergencies and for handling accidents that or not life-threatening when professional help is delayed or not available. Everybody can participate in this course, divers and non-divers. The EFR course is a prerequisite for the Rescue Diver course.
