A Lung Full of Adventure

Professional dive training

Drift across canopies of coral. Dive through into lush seaforests. Swim with dolphins, lemon sharks, and whales. And drop into the deep, silent blue.

Getting a Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) Divemaster certification while volunteering abroad on a marine conservation internship isn’t something that many divers get to experience. Our scuba-diving training course takes you from being a diving enthusiast to a professional diver, while also giving you the chance to contribute towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UN SDG) 14: Life Below Water.
