Dive Factory

Dive Factory bills itself as the professional diving school of Switzerland and the Swiss Plateau, and the credentials back the claim: a PADI 5 Star CDC with 25 PADI instructors on the roster. Many years of experience, real passion and genuinely good people carry you along the way — whether that way ends at your first breath underwater or at a professional rating.

From trial dives to instructor

The teaching spans the full PADI ladder, from a first trial dive through to instructor level, alongside PADI snorkelling, conservation courses and PADI First Aid – EFR. Local diving centres on Brougierpark Vitznau, and the centre keeps an onsite training pool for the early sessions. Air fills and nitrox are handled in house, and the rental racks cover everything from kids' sizes and 3mm wetsuits to drysuits, rebreathers and dive computers.

There's a retail shop, free Wi-Fi and parking, plus a dive club, conservation activities and travel for divers who want to keep going once certified. Staff speak English, French, German and Italian — useful in a school that suits complete beginners and career-track divers alike.
