S - DIVING

Set in Amsterdam, Netherlands, S-Diving is a PADI 5 Star IDC dive centre and shop built on a simple philosophy: diving is discovery — a relaxed way to explore the underwater world and a meeting point between people, animals and history. With 11 PADI Instructors on the team, the focus here is on learning to dive the right way, safely and calmly.

Courses and who it suits

Whether you're brand new or already certified, there's a path for you. First-timers can sample the sport with a PADI Discover Scuba Diving session, while those ready to certify can work through the PADI Open Water Diver and PADI Advanced Open Water Diver courses. Experienced divers can join a Guided dive day, and safety-minded students can take Emergency First Response: CPR and AED.

The centre runs an onsite classroom with free Wi-Fi, a retail shop and parking, plus air fills, equipment rental and an active dive club. Instruction is offered in English, Dutch and German — a welcoming base for divers of every level.
