One diver. One instructor. Your pace.
You do not need to keep up with a group. We work until buoyancy, breathing and decisions feel reliable, in the water you will actually dive in.
From first dives to continuing education and TDI foundations: personal training means more attention, not more pressure.

A consistent contact from briefing to debriefing.

Your instructor
Hi, I’m Sven.
I teach the way I would want to be taught myself: personally, calmly and with time for the things that do not feel solid yet. As an SDI/TDI instructor and facility owner, I stay your contact from the first briefing to the debrief.
Why that matters to me is also part of my own story. Meningitis in 2003 changed my perspective; diving entered my life a year later. Underwater, the world becomes smaller: breathe, look, decide, act. That still shapes my training today.

Sven hat die Gabe einen für das Tauchen zu begeistern. Mir hat es sehr viel Spaß gemacht und ich habe mich immer sicher gefühlt was beim Tauchen denke ich sehr wichtig ist.

Ich kann die Tauchschule wärmstens empfehlen. Ich habe mich während der Ausbildung zum Open Water Diver bei Sven immer sehr sicher gefühlt, er hat sich ausreichend Zeit genommen mir die erforderlichen Übungen beizubringen.
Vielen Dank für den tollen Kurs, wir sehen uns bestimmt bald wieder.
