PADI Rescue Diver
Consistently described by experienced divers as the course that changes how you think underwater — the Rescue Diver trains you to recognise and manage critical situations before they escalate, rather than reacting after the fact. It covers stressed and unresponsive diver scenarios, surface rescues, and emergency management. At Happy Dive the course is run by instructors who also teach Emergency First Response, so the medical side of the curriculum gets treated as a coherent skill set rather than a box-ticking exercise. Tilo Balzer, one of the team's instructors, lists EFR training as his particular focus. Completing Rescue Diver is a prerequisite for the Divemaster course, so for anyone with professional aspirations this is the penultimate step. It also significantly increases confidence for dive buddies — both yours and theirs. Price on request. PADI Advanced Open Water Diver (or equivalent) and Emergency First Response certification required.
PADI Emergency First Response
The EFR course covers emergency response skills useful both underwater and in everyday life — CPR, first aid, AED use, and secondary care. At Happy Dive it doubles as the required prerequisite for the Rescue Diver course and is treated as a standalone skill set worth having regardless of your diving level. Tilo Balzer specifically focuses on EFR instruction within the Happy Dive team, so it gets dedicated attention rather than being treated as an obligatory add-on to the Rescue Diver pathway. The course has no diving prerequisites. Price on request.
PADI ReActivate
For certified divers who haven't been in the water for more than six months, ReActivate refreshes both theory and the core practical skills of the Open Water Diver course. The session at Happy Dive includes a theory review followed by a pool lesson under direct supervision of a Divemaster or Instructor — you run through the key skills until they feel natural again, at your own pace. Included in the €79 fee: pool entry, tank, and weights. Rental gear for anything missing from your kit is available at extra cost. This is the sensible option before a holiday where you'll be diving again after a break — far better than arriving at a dive base rusty and having to figure out what you've forgotten in open water. The completion is logged in your dive logbook. Required: PADI (Junior) Scuba Diver, Open Water Diver or higher, or equivalent from another recognised training agency.
PADI Enriched Air Nitrox
The Enriched Air Nitrox specialty is listed by Happy Dive as always available on request — a pure theory course with no dives required, which means it can be completed at any time of year regardless of pool schedules or weather. For divers already doing repetitive dives on trips — Red Sea safaris, Maldives liveaboards, or multi-day sessions at local lakes — nitrox extends no-decompression limits and reduces surface intervals. The team at Happy Dive runs regular liveaboard trips where nitrox is commonly used, making this a practical certification to hold before joining one of those departures. Price on request.
