Diving with the Euro-Divers teams is easy, safe and fun
The guides take all the stress out of dive planning and know where all the cool creatures are – stick with them and you’ll see critters you never even knew existed and be at the right place to see the big stuff too!
Our guides are experts at finding their way around underwater, but have you ever wondered how they do it? How do they find exactly the right spot on the reef? How do they get to a small reef when you can’t see it as you descend? How do they find their way to the exit point with ease? The answer is that they have fine-tuned their underwater navigation skills to such an extent that the underwater world feels as familiar as their own back yard.
The benefits of being able to navigate underwater
Benefits include reduced air consumption from swimming further than you need to or in the wrong direction against a current, getting more dive time on the reef you’d planned to dive, prevention of being lost or separated from a group, and increased confidence that comes from knowing where you are, where you are going and how to get there. Diving becomes a lot more enjoyable when the worry is eliminated.
The PADI Underwater Navigator Specialty course is a great way to learn the skills needed to find your way around more confidently during dives and know what to do should you veer off course. You’ll learn how to use a compass with high accuracy, how to estimate distance and how to use underwater patterns and dive site relocation techniques. Also covered in the course is learning how to take cues from the natural environment and note things like lines in the sand, depth variations and even the smallest current which can push you off course even when following your compass. The course includes 3 open water dives, during which you will build confidence and have a lot of fun finding your way around.
Contact our team to find out more and then get started with PADI eLearning, completing the theory part of the course in your own time at home, leaving just the diving part to complete during your holiday.
Everything started with my Open Water Course at Koh Tao, Thailand. I’m hooked with the first breath I took underwater – this magical and peaceful world with all these different colors and creatures made me forget about everything else. It felt like an addiction.
This time made me realize that I don’t want to keep diving only as a hobby. I wanted to become a Diving Instructor and make diving my profession.
I was working as an entertainer in one of the resorts in South Male atoll. The first time I tried diving I absolutely fell in love with it, so every day off I would go diving.
I was lucky enough to meet people from Euro-Divers who helped me complete my instructor course and employment later on.
That trip changed everything. Since 2014, I visited more than 50 countries in three continents.
2019, 2020, 2021 – still in Maldives, enjoying what I love the most.
Im sonnigen Süden (Ägypten) lernte ich im Urlaub die unglaubliche Unterwasserwelt bei einem Schnuppertauchgang kennen und lieben.
Anfangs arbeitete ich im Tauchcenter im Büro, mir wurde jedoch schnell klar, dass ich die Gäste nicht nur über Wasser sondern auch unter Wasser begleiten wollte. Somit machte ich die Divemaster Ausbildung.
I studied Hotel management and ended up working for several years in different Hotels/Resorts around Italians seaside where I spend my days off diving and achieving the Dive Master rating.
I choose to stay in Oman because of its unspoiled dive site, beaches and many undiscovered dive places! We do not have mass tourism here and the country itself is spectacular besides being the safest place to live in.
Bored and burnt out of the stressful life in Holland, I quit my job as Manager Back Office & Finance and I went to Curacao for holiday. On this tropical island I took my first breaths under water with Instructor Marc, who is still my buddy in life.
Diving keeps me grounded, relaxed and connected with Mother Nature (myself). It supports me to let go, to put things into perspective and it helps me to stay focused and balanced in my position as a manager.
But diving was not at all my purpose of the journey, in fact I was not even a diver yet, I became a diver after I got passionate in freediving in Egypt in 2012 while freediving with dolphin in the wild, eager to become a snorkeling guide, I did my life guard licence and then my PADI open water!
I love freediving but scuba diving is an all other story for me, learning scuba diving make you discover part of yourself you didn’t know, you learn to control things that you would have never imagined possible, I regularly see many of my students discovering how calm they can be underwater when in life they tend to be hyperactive and then in the other hand I see calm or introverted persons becoming excited and move like a torpedo underwater 🙂 so diving might not be for everyone but it is definitely to discover!
I decided after my hospitality studies to enter this fascinating new world. I have started my career in Club Med as Guest Service and had the opportunity to travel some of the famous destinations for diving or snorkeling.
I am the perfect example of someone who was scared of diving, the only advice I could give is to believe in yourself.
But since I was young, I knew I wanted to travel the world, to go on adventures, have fun and meet people from everywhere. Unfortunately, those jobs didn’t give me the opportunity to do it so after 5 years I decided to move to Thailand.
Scuba Diving is a sport of passion.
During this time, I wanted to try something new, so I started scuba diving and I will never forget my first underwater experience. I felt nervous at first but at the same time a lot of excitement.
Some people might think that diving is a difficult sport, but there are many ways to enjoy safe diving for any age or gender.
