SCUBA Diver

The SCUBA Diver course at Correct Diving is the introductory step before the Open Water Diver — covering part of the OWD curriculum and certifying graduates to dive down to 10 metres for a maximum of 40 minutes, under supervision only. It's structured as a stepping stone: finish this and you have a logged starting point, then continue into the full OWD if you decide to go further.

The course runs 24 hours total and is offered year-round — at minimum once per month, up to four times per month from April through October. Classes are capped at six students, and the school uses Aqualung, Mares, Apeks, and Treblelight equipment throughout. Theory covers five modules across ten chapters, including physics, physiology, dive tables, decompression illness, and emergency management. The written exam has 50 questions.

Practical training happens in the protected bay at Glavotok, with the house reef directly accessible from the base. Confined water sessions build through three modules of skill progressions — kit assembly, buddy checks, mask work, octopus breathing, controlled ascents — before open water dives consolidate everything in real conditions on the reef walls.

Minimum age is 14 (or 10 for the Junior SCUBA Diver version). No prior experience required. Documentation needed: registration form, dive medical questionnaire, and a fitness-to-dive declaration. The certification log entry enables continuation into further training.
