Do you want to learn how to dive? Have you always dreamed of feeling that you were floating in space or always wanted to visit the marine life of our planet?

Well then, it would be a pleasure for us to give you the opportunity to make your dreams a reality and teach you how to dive during your vacation.

We can offer you several different courses:

1. PADI Open Water Diver (or PADI Junior Open Water for children between 10 to 14 years)

* International Certification
If you are interested in an international diving certification, then you are looking for our PADI "Open Water Diver" certification- the most popular, recognized and complete course in the world.

Perhaps you had planned to do this course before but never had the time for it. Now you can, so enjoy this opportunity!

After the theory, the pool sessions and the 4 open water dives, you will obtain the most recognized and appreciated international certification in the world, that will allow you to dive both in your country or in any other that you choose for your future vacations. This is adequate for those that want to make diving a new life style and hobby, diving and discovering the marine beauties around the world.

Why PADI Open Water?
* This certification allows you the freedom to dive without needing the company of a professional.
* It consists of: various sessions of theory and pool + 4 dives.
(Depending on your preferences, you can complete the program in 3 or 4 days.)
Frequency of the course: daily.

* National Geographic Diver
Would you like to raise the level of your Open Water course with the additional National Geographic Diver program?

One learns how to explore in detail, to identify important sub marine traits or to navigate with assurance. It also offers you tools to understand and explore with safety the underwater world. Enjoy yourself even more!

This course includes 1 dive, 1 theory session + 1 pool session. In addition, you will receive the National Geographic Diver book with DVD and nice certification exclusive of this prestigious organization.

2. PADI Scuba Diver (or PADI junior Scuba Diver for children between 10 to 14 years)

Are you thinking of obtaining a certification during your vacation, but do not want to dedicate a lot of time to this? In Dressel Divers we have a program to meet your needs, designed by PADI especially for you.

A sub program of the PADI Open Water Diver, the PADI Scuba Diver will allow you to easily and quickly get certified with minimum effort.

This program grants a basic certification with which you will be able to dive at any time. The only difference with the Open Water Diver is that you will always have to dive under the supervision of a Divemaster or any PADI professional of higher level and you cannot subscribe to advanced courses that go beyond the Open Water Diver, limiting your depth to 18 meters or 60 feet.

Duration: 2 days
Frequency: daily
This course includes: 3 theory sessions, 3 pool sessions and 2 open water dives including equipment rental.

3. Discover Scuba Diving (10 to 99 years)
The PADI Discover Scuba Diving Program allows you to experience the thrill of diving under the supervision of a PADI instructor, in ideal conditions within the surroundings of your vacationing spot.

During your adventure, you will come to grips with some basic concepts and skills of diving before going on your open water dive.

This course does not provide a certification, but it will enable you to dive with us during your complete stay. Your dive will take you to a maximum depth of 12 metres, allowing you to enjoy the beauty of the Caribbean Sea floor.

To live the experience of Discover Scuba Diving you must be a minimum of 10 years old.
The course includes: 1 hour of theory, 1 training session in pool, 1 ocean dive + 1 dive as An Exclusive Gift from Dressel.
Frequency: daily.

Highlights: Why Dressel Divers

Currently there are many diving centres in the world. It is difficult to find a tourist destination that does not, in one way or another, have diving services but, unfortunately there are not many dive centres that offer what you deserve. Normally you will only travel abroad once or twice a year, and you wish to enjoy your dives as much as possible. Do not put at risk your diving vacations by diving with non professionals.

We are able to offer and guarantee:

* An unstained historical safety record.
- Dressel Divers Club, annually, certifies more than 3.000 new divers and introduces more that 30.000 people to the marvelous sport of diving, without having had ever to lament even the most minor of incidents. All this is thanks to a rigorous staff training program, the necessary safety measures for our dive centres and boats, and an internal control system that performs continual monitoring and maintenance of the highest level of safety in the dive industry.
- Equipment with the latest novelties available on the market.
- We replace our equipment periodically each year.

* Excellence in Service
We teach classes in, at least, the following languages: Spanish, German, English, French, Italian, Portuguese and Dutch.

* Professionalism
We consist of a team of high level professionals, with more than 20 years of experience in sport diving and/or professional diving, and water sports. Our company is exclusively dedicated to these activities.

* Client Satisfaction
We offer a complete choice of official courses, from introduction to dive courses, all the way to the Instructor Trainer course, covering the expectations of even the most demanding client.

* Convenience for diving
Our diving centres are always located in the resorts or hotels, where you are staying; making it much easier for you and your family to enjoy your favourite sport. We are located on the very beach of your hotel. Our boats are constructed under the strict supervision, and according to the design of our founder, and are conceived by and for divers.

* Maximum Recognition
All our dive centres are recognized as PADI Gold Palm Resorts, the maximum ranking within the PADI diving organization. When Dressel worked under the supervision of other diving organizations, it also achieved the highest recognitions, as for example the SSI Platinum Dive Center or SSI Instructor Trainer Facility.

We have been voted several years in a row, by the readers of Rodales, as one of the top 10 best diving resorts in the world. In 2004 we received the PADI Prize for most entry level certifications by a multi- operation resort.
