PADI Open Water Diver Course

Excellent diving instructors

We dove with Ocean Treck, my son got his diving certification. The whole time we had super professional support from Dominic and Carlos. During the course they taught my son all the skills, with patience and so that he feels safe. Great dive sites, excellent team. In worse conditions we changed the plan and drove to another dive site so that everyone feels comfortable underwater, we felt very comfortable with the team and I would recommend this dive center to everyone who wants to learn to dive. It was a great experience.

Amazing experience!

Great place to learn to dive. Everyone was friendly and our instructor Juan was fantastic and calmly took us from novice to PADI open water divers!

Response from the operator: Hi, Congratulations again on your diving licence! You did a great job! We hope you stick with it. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Many greetings from Juan and the whole Ocean Trek team.

Diving school is highly recommended!

Conclusion: The diving school I can recommend without restriction. The Open Water Diver certificate (420€) is good to do in one week. Explanations: I did the Padi Open Water Diver certificate at the diving school Ocean Trek M08/20. I had already contacted Gerhard (boss) via mail before the start of the holiday, also to ask questions about Corona. I then started the theoretical part via eLearning (Padi license 120€ transferred to Gerhard before the holiday started) already at home on mobile phone/pad, so the learning was not particularly stressful. I would estimate the theory part to be 8-12h study time. Most of it is reading once and you understand it. You have to memorize very little, the questions are usually fair. I recommend 1-2h per day. If you have the 50 questions 75% correct, you will have to answer another 20 questions on site at the dive school so that it is ensured that you have taken the eLearning test yourself, so do not cheat with Google in the hotel. The Practical part consists of 4 dives (that is 4 half days), the first consisting of trial diving and the second & third (a total of one day) the required skills are practiced in relatively shallow water. As a teacher, Manuel was in charge of me, who did His cause really excellently. The group size was small. 3 taster divers, 2 teachers and a colleague who took photos. Skills practice first half of the day alone with Manuel, someone else joined in the afternoon. In the 4. Dive about 10 people, of which we beginners were however again two + Manuel in the water. I was always picked up from the hotel and brought back after the dives. If you take a dive in the morning, expect that you will still not be back at the hotel before 2pm. By the way, I noticed that the instructors see more people with shams who never really learned (observed on the last dive). With an average dive depth of 5-10m, probably no one will die, but I was glad that the skills were really all practiced. Another tip: Don't overwork your calf muscles, or they'll cramp easily. And very importantly: Always do the pressure equalization when going down as soon as you feel the pressure even slightly. If you already feel a lot of pressure, go the one meter back up and only then make the equalizer. If you force the pressure equalization with a lot of pressing, it is immensely on your ears and you have then after the 3rd/4th. Dive no more desire because your ears hurt. When balancing pressure, be careful not to overdo it, i.e. not to stretch the eardrum in the other direction. So make the pressure equalization very conscious and slow. There is always enough time for pressure equalization! And finally: Please always take dry things with you, otherwise the car covers will get salt edges. Gerhard's a little thin-skinned. The 2. Moving always takes place at the location. This can be a busy parking lot. I highly recommend you a dressing room poncho and a small extra towel for your feet to put on. The substrate can be very hot and dirty. I wish you a lot of fun 

Response from the operator: Hallo Daniel, wau, vielen Dank für deinen ausführlichen Bericht! Schön das wir dich so fürs Tauchen begeistern konnten. Wenn man deinen Bericht so liest bist du eigentlich ja auch ein guter Kanditat für den Tauchlehrerkurs. Wir würden uns sehr freuen bald wieder mit dir zu tauchen. Viele Grüße vom gesamten Ocean Trek Team,

Best diving school

100% recommended , I also became aware of the dive club via the reviews on Google and can award the 5 stars with a clear conscience. For me it was very relaxed that it is a German diving school and my dive license (Openwater Diver ) took place in German. I started with a taster course, which will also be credited if you continue. The instructors were super friendly and adjusted very well to my pace. THE training was based on the principle of explaining , demonstrating , imitating and practicing, which quickly led to success for me. In total I had 5 dives in 3 days where you also saw all sorts of things, e.g. Sepia , Octopus, Sea Turtle, Stingray , Baracudas and a Moraine . I will definitely come back
