*Our Pricing Promise is that there are never any extra fees that are not shown to you. No hidden park fees or other nonsense.
Once they pass the course (because they're brilliant of course) they will be able to dive at any centre around the world up to a depth of 13 meters. This will always be a very small groups and with a qualified instructor.
The certificate never expires but if it's been a while since they have gone out, they may need to do a refresher before the next time they dive just to make sure the skills are still sharp.
The other option is the Try Scuba Discovery experience to see how it feels by doing just a quick intro and skills before going out in the water with an instructor. If they love it, then they can simply continue onto your Open Water Diver Course. Easy right?
Some dive school say small group sizes and will stick you with 6 or even 8 to 1 instructor just because diving standards allow them to.
We chose our dive centre partners because they maintain higher safety standards and one of the most important ones for us is small group sizes so you'll never be in a group of more than 4 to 1 instructor for your course.
For Junior Open Water we usually keep it even smaller and separate from our other courses.
The course includes academic material and sometimes videos that can be accessed via an App on your phone.
They can even start studying this material before arriving.
Check the location page as we may offer packages that include accommodation or we will have some places that we can recommend that are nearby the dive centre.
Not a chance. Our goal is not to charge you more when you can go directly and find your own place to go diving.
We have agreements with our dive centre partners in which they reimburse us to pay for our staff pizza dinners and beers (that's all we do this for).
Our Pricing Promise also means that there is full transparency in what you see. We don't hide marine park fees or other random stupid things that companies will sometimes not be upfront about. If you have to pay it, we will let you know so you can make your decision with the full information!
We are awesome, that's why!
No but in all seriousness, it's because we love what we do. Every dive centre partner we work with has been personally checked by our team. That means we know the team, we know the managers who run the show and we've also personally been diving with them at some point.
We do confidential feedback checks on all the guests we send and also do our own research to make sure they always stay up to our standards.
Some other companies don't take any actual responsibility for the quality of the bookings they offer but we are not like them.
By having access to multiple dive centres, we can help meet everyone's need when it comes to things such as language requirements, date requirement, agency choice and more options for dive sites.
And finally, our team is lovely. Jump onto WhatsApp and say hello and see for yourself!
You'll always know who you are chatting with and since we are all over the world, you might even meet us in person.
Please don’t be sad. I was pretty tired when I wrote all this so maybe I missed it. OR it’s more likely that your question is so brilliant and amazing that I could never think of it. Chat with us!
