Dive InC

Based in Leiden in the Netherlands' Randstad region, Dive InC is a PADI 5 Star IDC Resort and the first PADI Mermaid Center in the area. The team believes in taking the time to teach skills properly — and in having fun along the way. Both diving and mermaid swimming are treated as serious sports, but the philosophy here is that you learn far more easily when you enjoy the process.

Courses for every age and level

With four PADI instructors on staff, Dive InC offers a wide range of PADI scuba courses from beginner through advanced, alongside the full spectrum of PADI Mermaid courses — right up to PADI Mermaid Instructor. Children are warmly welcomed: young divers can start from age 8, while aspiring mermaids can begin from age 6 with a B-diploma.

The centre is known for its focus on ocean conservation, weaving awareness of a healthy sea into every course. Facilities include an onsite training pool, a classroom, free Wi-Fi, a dive boat and parking, and local dives take place at Zandeiland 4. With English and Dutch spoken, it's a welcoming home for families and lifelong learners alike.
