PADI Open Water Diver from RIU Atoll and RIU Palace Maldivas

5/5
5 reviews

If you're interested in learning how to scuba dive, you surely know about the widely popular and internationally acclaimed PADI Open Water Diver course.

Before you start the activity, you'll need to complete a theory precourse as you register your profile on PADI Touch to make sure that you'll know all there is to know about the basic theories of scuba diving before you start. So you'll be even more prepared to start your adventure on the first day of the course.

The activity starts with a precourse about the basics of scuba diving, then once your tutor thinks you're ready, you will start practicing your basic skills in confined water. Finally, once you're ready for the ocean, you will receive your certification and will be able to explore the beautiful underwater world up to 18 meters together with your dive buddy.

    Kante and his team were very friendly and welcoming. I felt so comfortable in carrying out the skills in the water with him and he helped calm me when I had nerves at the start but within the hour I was fine and loved every second of my dives. Would highly recommend this course no better place on earth to learn!

    Das komplette Team ist sehr nett und alles lief professionell ab! Die Touren waren unglaublich schön meine persönliche Tauchlehrerin war sehr gut! Es wurde alles sehr deutlich erklärt und oben drauf noch komplett in deutsch! Besser kann man das tauchen nicht lernen (; ich kann es nur jedem empfehlen!

    Wir waren eine Woche im RIU Atoll, wo auch der Dive Center ist. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Besonderes Lob geht an unsere Trainerin, mit der wir die Zertifizierung zügig abschließen konnten. Dabei hatten wir Glück und sahen einen Schwarm Teufelsrochen an uns vorbeiziehen.

    Das Team der Tauchschule ist immer freundlich und hilfsbereit, die Tauchgänge an den verschiedenen Korallenriffen sind einzigartig! Für mich als Anfänger war der Kurs nicht immer einfach, da viele neue Skills erlernt werden mussten. Sicherheitsbedenken gab es nie, die Guides sind sehr erfahren. Größere Größen von Neoprenanzügen und Masken für sehr kräftige Europäer wären natürlich schön gewesen.
