Les Tontons Plongeurs

Tucked into the Belgian capital, Les Tontons Plongeurs stands out as the only PADI 5 Star IDC center in Brussels — a serious credential that means you can train here right through from your very first breaths underwater to becoming a certified instructor.

Courses for every level

The lineup covers the full PADI pathway. Curious first-timers can try a PADI Discover Scuba Diving session from USD 60 (around 3 hours), while the PADI Scuba Diver and Open Water Diver courses build genuine certification over several days. Ready for more? The Advanced Open Water Diver course takes you further. With 3 PADI instructors on the team, teaching runs in English, Dutch, French, German and Italian.

On site you'll find a training pool, a classroom and free Wi-Fi, plus air fills, nitrox and scuba equipment rental. Local training dives head to De Nekker, and there's an active dive club with activities and trips to join. It's a natural fit for Brussels-based divers who want structured, multilingual instruction and a community to dive with.
