Courses

From your first breath underwater to forty metres and rescue.

Ten courses in the International Diving Federation system, conforming to the EN ISO 24801 and EN ISO 24802 standards — the certifications are recognised worldwide. Taught by Aleksander Ćwikłowski, Master Diver Instructor. We teach in small groups, in Polish lakes and quarries, and seasonally on trips abroad.
