Level Courses

Do
you have a deep and abiding passion for diving? Or, do you merely
love it with all of your heart? If so, you should consider doing what
you love for a living: become a PADI Dive Master.

When
you Join the Tribe by becoming a PADI Divemaster, you align yourself
with the largest and most respected dive tribe in the world—that of
PADI Professionals. These are PADI Divemasters and Instructors
sharing a passion for diving and an active concern for the health of
the world’s underwater habitats.

Looking
for the first step in working with scuba as a career? Your adventure
into the professional levels of recreational scuba diving begins with
the PADI Divemaster program. Working closely with a PADI Instructor,
in this program you expand your dive knowledge and hone your skills
to the professional level. PADI Divemaster training develops your
leadership abilities, qualifying you to supervise dive activities and
assist instructors with student divers. PADI Divemaster is the
prerequisite certification for both the PADI Assistant Instructor and
PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor certifications.

Are
you looking for something extraordinary? To do something others can
only dream of? To help people transform their lives? To open doors
you didn’t even know existed? All of this, and more, awaits you as
a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor.

The
Open Water Scuba Instructor (OWSI) program is one of two distinct
components of PADI’s Instructor Development Course (IDC)—the core
of PADI Instructor training. The first portion is the Assistant
Instructor course followed by the Open Water Scuba Instructor
program.

The
IDC program is 11 days. It introduces you to the entire PADI System
of diver education and concentrates on further developing your
abilities as a professional dive educator.

Scuba
Centre, is a PADI Five Star Gold Palm Instructor Development Centre.
To achieve this rating means that we meet PADI’s stringent
requirements. However, our purpose is to exceed your expectations.

Our
business is twofold, taking divers diving and educating new divers
and old divers to be better and more capable. We excel at both. Our
teaching team has in excess of 50 years’ experience and our dive
leaders have between them over 20 000 dives in Sodwana. Our skippers
are the most experienced in Southern Africa. We operate 364 days a
year, every year and have done so since 1998. Our experience shines.

What
sets us aside from other operators in this country is our use of
local Zulu staff, trained from scratch by us to become the most
experienced dive staff in the country. Our commitment to the local
community runs through our business.
