Tauchschule Detlef Linek

Whether you're stepping into the water for the very first time with an introductory dive or you're a certified diver ready for the next level, Tauchschule Detlef Linek in Berlin builds your skills from the ground up. As a PADI 5 Star IDC dive centre, this team delivers solid, standards-based training at a high level of safety, with a focus on individual support in predominantly small groups.

Courses and facilities

The centre's PADI Open Water Diver course runs from USD 697 over approximately four days, and successful completion earns an internationally recognised brevet that lets you dive and rent equipment at centres worldwide. With six PADI instructors on the team, learning happens in an in-house heated pool, backed by complete diving equipment and an on-site bottle filling station.

Because the logistics are all under one roof, training can take place outside the usual swimming-pool hours — almost around the clock, which makes it ideal for busy professionals. On-site you'll also find a classroom, retail shop, parking, air fills, equipment sales, and scuba and scooter (DPV) rental. Instruction is offered in German.
