Dive 6 days a week, twice a day, and feel how quickly your skills and confidence underwater grow. A lot of our bootcampers have a professional goal in mind, and complete guide training to work with us, but we also have dedicated marine biology interns, marketing and tourism students, or divers with personal goals who want to complete as many specialties as possible. Whether you have never dived before, or already have some experience, and no matter what your individual goal is, we can put together a fully personalised plan for you.
