PADI Diving Courses |
Dive Master Co., Ltd is a Padi Dive Center and offers a full range of high quality diver education programs. All of our courses are taught with an empahsis on performance. We do not rush students and like our students to feel comfortable with each skill that they are required to perform. Unlike other dive schools Dive Master's courses are not time based. "Our policy is to present scuba diving as a safe enjoyable sport so we focus on smaller groups!" We normally try to limit the number of students per group to 4-6 persons with 2 instructors. However, if you wish to have a private lesson of 1 or 2 persons, we will be happy to arrange it. We are prepared to be flexible to give you maximum convenience, you can choose from 09:00 till 22:00 hrs., every day or every other day or weekends only. After completion of courses and all tests are passed, a diving certification card from PADI will be awarded. For any special requests do not hesitate to contact us!
The Padi Open Water Diver course provides you with the knowledge and skills needed to safely gain experience in the diving environment and, ultimately, to dive independently (but always with a buddy!). The course is performance based and designed to be naturally progressive.
During this course you will learn basic dive theory via workbook, video, and discussion. Your first experience with scuba equipment will be in the form of 5 confined (swimming pool) water sessions. This will give you the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of dive theory and get you used to the diving skills that you will practice and use in open water on regular dives. From the confined sessions we venture into open water where we will make 4 open water dives. During these dives we will practice the skills from the confined sessions and then take a tour around the exciting dive sites where you can start to really enjoy the underwater realm. The Discovery channel will never be the same again! Once you have been certified as an Open Water Diver you will naturally wish to take your diving education to the next level. We can offer the Advanced Open Water Diver as a Special Package with your Open Water Diver Course. Click on the links to read more about it.

The Advanced Open Water Course gives you the opportunity to develop your skills as a diver. The course is made up of 2 core dives and 3 electives. The two core dives are the deep and underwater navigation dive. These are important dives. As you progress you will want to venture deeper. The deep dive allows you to understand and appreciate diving at deeper depths with the safety of your instructor. The importance of the navigation dive can not be understated. The navigation dive will help you to find your way around dive sites by using both the compass and natural reference. With good continuous training in navigation you should be able to find your way back to the anchor line even in poor visibility! You have seen it done, now you can do it to! There are many electives to choose from and all of them are good
fun as well as enhancing your skills as a diver. Choosing three
is sometimes difficult but you can always continue your education
by taking a Specialty course in any of these electives.
