Here’s how we run our Academy
Excellence in professional training takes center stage at our Academy. We firmly believe that well-trained Divemasters and Instructors have the power to make a lasting impact on each student’s diving journey. That’s why we put our focus on teaching you high scuba diving teaching skills. It's not just about acquiring a certification; it's about understanding and recognizing the vital role we play as professionals in preservation.
Personal Attention and Small Group Training:
We value offering education in small, intimate groups. In this way, we ensure that every student receives full personal attention and support. For this reason, we limit our course capacity to a maximum of 4 participants per Academy staff member. This leads to better skill development and a more supportive learning atmosphere.
Only eLearning courses:
Using eLearning underscores the efficiency and flexibility of our training programs. Why spend more time in the classroom than needed? Complete theoretical components online, and let’s maximize in-water training time!
