What
else are you interested in?
Is the course suitable for recreational divers too?
Yes. The minimum is Open Water Diver and the age of 12 years. An advanced certification including Deep Diving, age 18 years and buoyancy control are recommended. You can discuss whether the course is suitable with the instructor.
Is scooter diving demanding?
Not technically, but it does require concentration. You will learn the correct posture, speed control, dive planning and how to deal with emergency situations. After a few dives, the controls become very intuitive.
Do I have to have my own DPV, or can I hire one?
You do not need your own scooter. A DPV is available for the course as part of the training. If you later want to buy your own, the instructor will advise you on selecting one according to your diving style.
How soon after payment can I start?
Usually within 1 working day we will activate your access and contact you to arrange the lesson.

Tomáš KlaputDivemaster Instructor
Tomáš Klaput
SSI Divemaster Instructor #108988
Quarries, lakes and wrecks. He will help you with your first course and with your further diving development.
Even at his first snorkelling session as a child, Tomáš realised that the world underwater fascinated him and that he could stare at it for hours and hours. After his first “try dive” in Egypt, the decision was made for good. He immediately signed up for the OWD course, then his first safari, and it all took off. He has been actively diving since 2013 and is constantly trying to improve, move forward and pursue his dreams - for example the aircraft wrecks around the island of Vis in Croatia.
He enjoys flooded quarries, wrecks, dives into the depths of Austrian lakes, as well as the warm waters of the Red Sea with its rich underwater life. He is one of the newcomers to the Divers team, but has been a professional instructor since 2018. He will certainly be happy to advise you on any question, request or your personal development in the form of another course. Do not hesitate to contact him.
“I could never enjoy diving so fully and freely without the great support of my family, especially my wife. My huge thanks go to her!”, Tomáš adds, and looks forward to diving with you.

Renda’s connection with aquatic environments from around the world allows him to bring unique perspectives and insights to the diving community, whether in a local quarry or on an exotic coral reef. His endless desire to learn about new species of marine life and discover underwater sites continually drives him to travel all over the world. With his indomitable travel spirit, he often sets off to various corners of the world to discover new diving sites and explore their underwater kingdom. With every new experience, his repertoire of diving skills and techniques expands, and he willingly passes them on to other enthusiasts.
