FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Below follows answers to some of the most frequently
asked questions. How do I get there? Upon your arrival to the Airport a 15 minute taxi ride will bring you to Paradise beach, where we are located. Another option once you are in Athens is to come by boat. How do I get there once in Mykonos island?
You may also call from any of the hotels you are staying a taxi to bring you straight to our facility. Cost of the ride depends on the location of your hotel. Another possibility, if you are staying in Platy Yialos beach, is to take the water-taxi to bring you straight to Paradise beach. What clothes to bring? And don't forget your suntan lotion and moisture cream as it is a must for the whole summer. What is the water temperature?
A thermocline between 20 to 30m. during the summer is not uncommon so a wetsuit of five mm. will do the job just fine. Do your prices include equipment?
Should you decide to bring your own gear and you need additional equipment you may hire them separately. We also have computers for hire ( Uwatec's Aladin sport and Pro models)

Welcome to DIVE ADVENTURES. We would like to thank you for choosing us as your educational facility. Our staff and instructors will do everything possible to make your diving experience fun and safe.
THE BEST THING YOU WILL DO THIS HOLIDAY! Ever since you were a kid, you probably wanted to try scuba diving.
The DIVE ADVENTURES Open Water program is an entry level certification
course in scuba diving. This exciting program includes a minimum of
12 hours of academic study in the areas of diving physics, physiology,
medicine, environment and dive safety. In addition to the classroom,
which is conveniently located only a moments' walk from the beach,
a minimum of 12 training hours, in confined water, and 5 open water
dives are required with emphasis placed on physical fitness, diving
hazards, personal limitations and the behaviour needed to function
as a diver. This can be accomplished over a period of 4 days, in an
intensive, private program, which includes 2 theory lessons and 2
dives daily. Open Water graduates will be competent in basic Open
Water diving activities, and will receive a certification card, honoured
throughout the diving world. We are proud of our extensive experience
in Scuba Diver training to all levels. Our instructors are certified
by the world's largest certification agencies.
The DIVE ADVENTURES Advanced Scuba Diver program is a mid-level continuing
education course, which is more detailed than the Open Water course
and is for divers who have completed the Open Water program or equivalent
training. A major advantage of this course is to be able to confidently
dive in local waters under various conditions. You will have new dive
buddies, local diving "hot spots" and increase your diving
experience. The Advanced Diver course will open your eyes to natural
navigation, night diving, deep diving, search and light salvage diving,
boat diving plus much more. The course consists of 8 open water dives
and is designed to increase diving enjoyment and improve basic skills
as well as introduce new underwater activities. Advanced Scuba Diver
graduates are able to plan detailed dives and do underwater tasks
like navigation and search and recovery. Who should take the Advanced
Scuba Diver program? Divers seeking continued education to increase
skill level and learn new underwater activities and divers who have
moved from one diving area to another and need orientation to new
dive sites and environments.
The DIVE ADVENTURES Rescue Diver Course, that you will be taking,
is a must for every diver; whether your interests in diving are strictly
recreational or professional. Diving is a social sport with more people
getting involved every day. With this in mind, you will learn how
to identify potentially hazardous situations, so that they may be
avoided by you and your diving partners. Another topic discussed thoroughly,
and one of major importance is the ability to handle stressful situations
and self rescues. The Rescue Diver course will soon become to diving
what First Aid and CPR have become to us in every day life. But, the
best thing about the Rescue Diver course is that if everyone were
to take it, no one would ever need to use it. Wouldn't that be great!
So, do your part for continued diver safety and enroll now in our
next Rescue Course.
