Almost all you need to know
:-)
Insurance:
During the beginner courses you are covered under
my professional third party liability and a DAN course-Insurance
for the worst case.
For further courses and dives your own diving-accident
and third-party-liability insurance is recommended
and mandatory in Spain.
In co-operation with Extrasub I offer you an insurance
at a dayly (€ 8,-), weekly (€
12,-), monthly (€ 18,-)
or anual rate (€ 34,-). The
insurance can be contracted the same day. Who likes
to get an insurance right now can do that with Diveassure.
Find the link on the left side.
I personally very much suggest a DAN-insurance
which is a bit pricier.
Medical
checkup
Before
the first Try- or Course-dive you will fill out a medical
questionary to exclude severe illnesses, over all of
the heart- and circulation system and the lung.
For courses within Spain it is then mandatory to have
a medical checkup which can already be done beforehand
at home or here in Spain without problems. Conditions
are different from physician to physician. You can use
the form you find at the downloads (left) which I recommend
but anything similar is fine.
Also certified divers have to show a medical certificate
to go diving in Spain.
Junior
For the junior divers among us here in the State
of Valencia it is a bit different then elsewhere.
By Padi standards and by rules used in most parts
of the world children from 10 years on can learn to
scuba-dive.
Here in the State of Valencia an old law is still
in place which prohibits diving under the age of 16.
If you have doubts or questions please ask me.
Prices and discounts
Yes, diving
is not a cheap sport and it starts with the dive training.
But also diving is a fascination that will accompany
you for the rest of your life and the great thing is
the more you know the more there is to learn and to
explore and it becomes more and more exciting.
A good training quality in small groups is important
to me and I know I do offer a very good price-benefit
ratio.
I offer package-prices for many combinations of my courses.
There is also a 10% discount for 5 dives or more p.
p.
For students, or other groups I will happily make you
a special offer.
Company training upon request.
PADI
vs ?
Padi
is the biggest diving organisation in the world regarding
market shares, certifications and extension. The diving
certificates are well know and recognised all over the
planet.
The Padi standards were developed and approved over
decades. Padi offers a great infrastructure in its member
services.
My personal opinion is also that in the end not the diving
organisation but the diving instructor is responsible for
the quality of the education. Among all instructors and divers
of all organisations there are predominant good fellows and
few not so convincing ones.
What connects all of us is the fun and the joy of diving
no matter which logo is above!
