Dear All,

A friend of mine Master Scuba Instructor and would like to provide his expertise to Ad4x4 members; hereon the course details



The dive certification course is the PADI Open Water Diver Course, which upon completion will give you an internationally recognized certification to dive that is valid for life and recognized all over the world. The certification card carries your photograph and confirms the level of training and ability to dive, to the requirements established by PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors). PADI is the world's largest diver training agency with offices and instructors in over 90 different countries.

The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of: 5 knowledge development sessions conducted either by me with personal review sessions and at-home study of DVD and books or online. These courses can be completed in approximately four hours.

Next are 5 confined water sessions conducted in a swimming pool which can be combined into one or two days, these sessions take about two and a half hours each day but can be completed in four hours.
Following the pool sessions there are four sea dives, the first two dives are shore dives from the Jumeriah Open Beach in Dubai and combine take about three hours. This can only be done on the weekends. The next two dives are boat dives and we typically go to Fujairah.

The theory sessions and pool dives are typically done on weekdays and the sea dives are on weekends, however, I am very flexible and can accommodate to individual schedules. The course can be concentrated into 3 days or spread out over a period of months or a week, it is entirely up to you.

The cost is 2200 AED for individual one on one sessions and this includes dive table, diver logbook, equipment rental, two certifying dives by boat and the certification card after the completion of the course. I will also provide you with full equipment.

Groups of 5 or more are 1900 AED per person and include includes dive table, diver logbook, equipment rental, two certifying dives by boat and the certification card after the completion of the course. I will also provide you with full equipment.

If you choose the online session for group or individuals there is an additional charge.


if you need more information please let me know
