Scuba Connection

Based in Amsterdam, Scuba Connection is a PADI 5 Star CDC backed by 10 PADI Instructors — a serious training base for divers at every stage of their journey. Beyond diving, the shop stocks gear for snorkelling too, so whether you're heading somewhere tropical or exploring closer to home, there's kit here for enjoying the underwater world.

Courses and local diving

The centre runs a clear progression of PADI courses, from the PADI Open Water Diver Course for newcomers, through the technical PADI Tec 40 Diver, up to the PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor programme for those turning their passion into a profession. Local training and fun dives take place at freshwater sites including Spiegel plas, the Vinkeveense Plassen and Vinkeveen Zandeiland 4.

On site you'll find a classroom and free Wi-Fi, plus air fills and equipment sales to keep you diving. Staff speak English, Dutch and German, making Scuba Connection a welcoming choice for local and visiting divers alike.
