Diving course in Ilava

Scuba Diving Course in Košeca (Ilava) - what will you experience?

You will get a PADI diving certification. If you've always wanted to learn to dive, discover new adventures, or simply see the amazing world underwater, this is the place to start.
PADI Open Water Diver is the world's most popular diving course, and has introduced millions of people to the adventurous lifestyle of diving. The Open Water Diver course consists of three parts: development of theoretical knowledge, 5 lessons in the pool and 4 dives in open water.
Our PADI instructor will first go over the theoretical basics of diving with you so that you properly understand the physical laws of diving, the rules of safe diving, and the technical details of diving equipment. You will read the book and watch the PADI video at your chosen pace. At the end, a final test is taken. This is followed by training in basic techniques and actions in the pool. If you are already able to handle them without any problems, then it's time for your dream entry into the underwater world in the form of four open water dives under the supervision of an instructor. After successfully completing the course, we will issue you a temporary diver card and PADI will send you the original card to your home address within a certain period of time. You will need to have your own wetsuit, mask, snorkel, and fins for the training. We will be happy to advise you on the selection and purchase.
