Daniel
From the moment I took my first breath underwater in 2008, I fell in love with diving. After a few years of diving for fun, I decided to follow my passion and became a PADI Pro in 2018. Working as a dive instructor brought immense joy and soon we realized our dream of opening our own dive center in Cyprus. Our goal is simple but profound: to offer the highest quality diving experiences and PADI Pro programs marked by excellence and dedication.
Tamara
I discovered my passion for diving eight years ago and haven't let it go since. Since training to be a diving instructor, I love sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm for diving with others. I particularly enjoy working with aspiring dive pros and honing their diving skills. I attach great importance to comprehensive training that includes both fun and safety. For me, diving is not just a sport, but also a way to raise awareness of protecting our oceans.
Ramin
I have been diving for 18 years now, 11 of them as a PADI PRO with countless courses, from beginners to Divemaster candidates.
Every person who comes to us has a different idea or experience, and I always find it very exciting to adapt to new characters, to motivate and challenge them and generally to spread fun while diving in a relaxed and safe way.

In August, I traveled to Cyprus for my Divemaster training and received a warm welcome. After an introductory round and two fun dives, we began with the EFR and Rescue Refresher, where we were challenged with various scenarios. The following three weeks of Divemaster training tested all three DM trainees. We demonstrated teamwork while measuring the dive site, showed perseverance during the physical tests, and proved our determination by practicing the 24 OWD skills to presentation quality. During internships with clients, we learned to lead dives from A to Z and acted as competent assistants in courses.
Afterward, I stayed for two months in a Divemaster internship, where I was able to further improve my skills through constructive feedback and praise. After almost three months with a fantastic team, I could hardly believe that my time here was already over.

"The Divemaster course was an incredible experience that I highly recommend to anyone passionate about diving. I decided to do this course as it is my dream to become an underwater videographer in the future, and this course has helped me greatly. Getting to use more camera equipment underwater frequently, I’ve been learning fast. The opportunity to start an internship straight after the course gives me time to improve my skills and learn more about the diving world. Cyprus is home to diverse sea life, such as sea horses, turtles and Octopus, making it a fantastic destination to learn and grow."

"Becoming a PADI Pro at Cyprus Diving Centre was an incredible experience! The Divemaster program was great fun – there was a lot of time to practice the skills independently and we joined many courses and Discover Scuba Dives with different instructors, to familiarise with different ways of teaching. After passing the Divemaster exam, I loved taking our customers to the different dive sites and introducing them the Cyprus underwater world. Overall 10/10 experience!"
Lisa #552213
"In April 2024, I started my Divemaster course at the Cyprus Diving Center. The first week was a fantastic introduction! EFR and Rescue were a lot of fun, and we practiced various scenarios, which was very educational. The following four weeks were filled with theoretical knowledge and many dives. I was able to assist with DSDs and participate in courses, which helped me learn a lot. The different instructors allowed me to learn something new from each of them and incorporate those skills into my repertoire. I was excellently prepared for guiding fun dives. The instructors were always helpful and supportive. I wholeheartedly recommend the dive school! The subsequent internship was a great experience to apply what I had learned!"

"I completed my Divemaster course at the Cyprus Diving Center in November 2023, and I cannot emphasize enough how incredible this experience was. From start to finish, I found an exceptional learning environment that was both professional and warmly familial. My instructors were Tamara and Ramin. Their expertise, patience, and passion for diving were evident in every lesson. They ensured that I not only acquired the necessary skills and knowledge but also developed a deep appreciation for the underwater world. Their guidance was invaluable, and thanks to their excellent teaching, I feel confident and well-prepared to pursue my diving career further."
