Level 2 diving course – Advanced Open Water

During this course, you will discover the pleasures of deep diving (30 metres for those over 12 years old and a maximum of 12 metres for those under 12 years old).
You will also develop your knowledge of navigation and buoyancy control. You will be able to use a dive computer, start to recognize and identify different species of fish, corals, and underwater plants, do drift dives and learn to dive at night.
You’ll get a new perspective on diving and even more fun and excitement awaits you. Each validated dive can be credited toward the corresponding specialty training.

Divemaster Level Course
Divemaster is the first professional certification that allows you to make diving your profession. It will allow you to serve as a guide, mentor, and leader to other certified divers. Come and live a unique experience and be part of the team.
With our Divemaster Internship and Course, you will participate for two months as an intern and take part in dive centre tasks assigned by the director, in exchange for all training and dives leading up to the PADI Divemaster course (free of charge), excluding study material. All courses are integrated into the Divemaster Internship and your participation counts as part of the internship period. On average, candidates make a minimum of 60 dives.
FQAS certification
The FQAS card is mandatory to dive autonomously in Québec. Are you PADI, SSI or another recognized agency certified but don’t have your FQAS yet? We can issue it on-site.
The certification includes an update session of your knowledge and skills during a dive supervised by a qualified instructor, as well as a short theoretical exam. The card is valid for 3 years. For renewal, you must demonstrate having completed 10 dives over the past 3 years.
