divearound

In the heart of the Northern Netherlands, in Drenthe, you'll find divearound — a PADI 5 Star IDC Resort backed by a team of 40 PADI Instructors. That status signals the quality you'd expect, delivered by a mixed crew of divers, young and old, in training and highly experienced, who make starting a new adventure genuinely enjoyable.

Courses and training

With its own swimming pond beside the dive shop plus an indoor pool, divearound is one of the few centres in the country with this kind of logistics, which means training can move faster here. Options range from the PADI Scuba Refresher (from USD 120, about 4 hours) to the PADI Enriched Air Diver (from USD 298) and the two-day PADI Advanced Open Water Diver (from USD 955). The school is open 7 days a week and runs even with a single student.

Home dive sites include divearound Ruinerwold and divearound Dwingeloo, and facilities cover an onsite training pool, classroom, retail shop, house reef and onsite accommodation. Instruction is offered in Dutch.
