Diving courses
Snorkel dives are a great experience and help you improve your water safety, physical condition and diving technique.
Although snorkel diving is available at countless sites even without the assistance of a dive centre, a Snorkel Diver course can teach you a lot about the right way to use your equipment, about marine life, as well as pressure equalisation techniques.
A Snorkel Diver course is an excellent foundation for scuba diver training, if you feel like carrying on with your adventure.
An Open Water Diver course provides you with the basic skills of scuba diving. The exercises completed during swimming pool dives prepare you for the real adventure: open water dives.
When you complete your minimum of four open water dives, you will apply what you have learnt during your pool sessions. If your tight schedule does not allow you to attend theoretical classes, you can prepare for the theoretical test on your own, using first-rate UEF diver training materials received from your instructor. Even with home learning, your instructor will certainly keep checking on your progress, and will help if you are stuck.
Let your exploration continue! We have compiled our UEF Advanced Open Water Diver course to include the most common types of specialty dives, and teach participants about boat dives, night dives, diving in current and around wrecks, as well as underwater navigation. Certified advanced divers can dive to a maximum depth of 30 metres with a similarly certified dive buddy or with a divemaster.
You can enrol for the course if you have an Open Water Diver certificate and twenty verified dives.
You miss a lot, if you miss out on this diving course; it is probably one of the most exciting ones!
Participating in a Rescue Diver course you can further develop your self-rescue skills, as well as buddy rescue to save a dive buddy in trouble. Normally, diving is a calm activity; nevertheless, the rescue situation practices incorporated in the open water portion of our Rescue Diver training course are guaranteed to electrify you.
If you have Rescue Diver certification and three other certificates of specialty diving, plus 100 logged dives as a minimum, you can obtain Master Scuba Diver certification to mark your excellence.
A Master Scuba Diver course is suitable for those who do not aim to become professional divemasters or instructors.
If you want also your child to become familiar with the extraordinary underwater world, and your child can swim and feels safe in water, he/she can take a diving course, then dive in pools with a diving instructor or a divemaster, to a maximum depth of 3 metres.
The underwater exercises are designed to ensure that children can learn the basic diving skills playfully. Uniquely, the course book was written involving kids aged 8 to 10 contributing their special approach and proposals to the remarkable success of UEF’s Kid Diver course book.
Older kids aged 10-12 can make open water dives with a diving instructor or a divemaster, to a maximum depth of 5 metres, if they have completed the Advanced Kid Diver course.
The course revises the skills acquired in the pool, and adds theoretical and practical knowledge that is vital for exploring natural bodies of waters, lakes and seas.
This diving course represents the third grade of kid diver training. Once over 12 years of age, kids can start their diving studies and can gradually become an underwater explorer. This course uses training materials made for adults, but because the participants are still kids, their sizes and capabilities are taken into account to a maximum extent both in theoretical and practical training.
After certification, kids above 12 years of age are permitted to dive to a depth of 10 metres of accompanied by an instructor or a divemaster.

If so, diving on nitrox may be a good solution for you. Nitrox is a breathing gas with a higher, up to 40%, portion of oxygen and less nitrogen. It facilitates no-decompression dives with longer bottom times, and also reduces the chances of nitrogen narcosis to a minimum. After certification, you will be licensed to use nitrox with a maximum oxygen content of 40%. The skills acquired in this course will come useful also when you carry on taking technical diving courses.
The prerequisites to this course are 20 logged dives and Open Water Diver certification, as a minimum.
