Services & prices

Personal training is not a race to the lowest price. Here you can see clearly what instructor time, support and services you are booking. Before booking, you receive a quotation listing the scope, payment dates and any external costs.

  • Final prices, no additional charges
  • Written quotation before you book
  • Additional costs only by prior agreement
Personal service

What you get for the price

You are not booking shared instructor time. The price reserves personal water time, repetitions within the normal course scope and scheduling that follows your calendar. The value is attention, continuity and enough time to make skills reliable.

Entry-level and continuing training

All amounts are final prices. Where a price is shown as „from“, the total depends on the dive site, equipment and the practical training required.

TDI – technical diving

Three courses that build on each other. They are listed separately because they feel different from the rest: more arithmetic before the dive, more equipment, and an ascent that is part of the plan. What TDI means here →

The quotation states the amount due, any deposit and the payment dates. For more extensive courses, a deposit may be required when learning materials are activated, equipment is reserved or external services are booked.

Travel, accommodation, boat spaces, exceptional entry fees, special gases and technical rental equipment are itemised before confirmation. Repetition within the normal scope of the course is already included.

Scope

What is in the price

The price reflects a different kind of service: personal water time, continuity and a clearly defined scope. This is what is actually covered when you book here — there is no second invoice afterwards.

Eight water sessions

Four pool sessions and four open-water dives — not the minimum, the amount you need.

No changing groups

The same instructor from the first briefing to certification. Your pace throughout.

Complete standard equipment

Cylinder, regulator, BCD, suit and weights included. Bring your own if you prefer.

Gas, entries and fees

Air fills, pool and lake entries, certification and processing fees are all included.

Digital theory

Course materials and e-learning access, with questions answered by a person, not a forum.

Extra practice time

If something needs repeating within the normal course scope, it is repeated. No extra charge.

Try diving, €119: credited in full against your Open Water course if you book within four weeks. Effectively a trial that costs you nothing if you continue.

Comparison

Advanced: two ways to do it

Both paths lead to the same certification. The difference is how much water time and equipment you get on the way — and whether the dry suit is part of it. If you dive mainly in local lakes, the intensive route pays for itself quickly, because the dry suit is what turns three months of season into twelve.
