Beschikbare Cursussen
7 cursosOpen Water Diver
The group Open Water Diver course at Sea Angels runs with a minimum of three students in the МИСиС pool, Профсоюзная 83б, metro Беляево. Group size is capped at four. The rate is 20,000 RUB per person for the pool and theory phase; study materials and the open water exam are billed separately. The club certifies through PADI, SSI, NDL, and CMAS — students choose the agency at sign-up, and the same pool programme covers all four certification standards. The pool phase is five sessions, each around four hours, running weekday evenings in Monday-Wednesday-Friday or Tuesday-Thursday blocks from 19:00 to 22:30, with weekend formats also available. Each session combines classroom theory with pool time. The curriculum covers dive physics and physiology, equipment assembly and maintenance, buoyancy control, underwater navigation basics, mask and regulator recovery skills, and emergency procedures. Equipment rental is included in the 20,000 RUB fee. Study materials — SSI digital package with e-cert at 10,000 RUB, or PADI printed textbook at 7,500 RUB — are an additional cost. After completing the pool phase, the open water component is four dives with an instructor. These can be done in Moscow-region lakes during summer, or during a club dive trip abroad. The club has a Sharm El Sheikh trip scheduled for April 2026, which is one concrete option for completing open water dives in the Red Sea. The open water exam is 12,000 RUB per person. Passing both phases earns an international Open Water Diver certification allowing independent buddy diving to 18 metres worldwide. The club has run this format for more than fifteen years. Instructors hold qualifications across all four certifying agencies, so there is no pressure to pick a specific card based on who happens to be teaching. The group format is the most cost-effective entry point — individual instruction at the same pool is 30,000 RUB, and pair sessions run 25,000 RUB per person.
Try Scuba / DSD (Discovery Scuba Dive)
The Try Scuba session at Sea Angels is a single pool dive at the МИСиС complex, Профсоюзная 83б, metro Беляево in Moscow. It runs individually or with one other person — the pair rate is 4,300 RUB per person, the individual rate is 5,300 RUB. Equipment rental is included. There is no theory module to complete beforehand and no written exam. The session is designed to answer one question: what does it feel like to breathe underwater? An instructor is with you throughout the pool session. The programme covers a handful of practical basics — equalising, breathing from a regulator, clearing a mask, and moving through the water. No certification is issued at the end. The session is self-contained and carries no obligation to continue. Depth stays at pool depth during the session. If you decide to progress to a full Open Water Diver course, this pool session can count as your first OWD pool dive. The club certifies through PADI, SSI, NDL, and CMAS, so whichever agency you choose for the full course, the try-dive experience transfers rather than being discarded. This avoids paying for the same pool time twice if you move forward quickly. The session is open to adults and to children from age ten. It is a practical option for people who want to check comfort underwater before committing to a full OWD course starting at 20,000 RUB. The club has been running try-dive sessions alongside its full certification programmes for more than fifteen years, using the same instructors and the same МИСиС pool.
Advanced Open Water Diver
The Advanced Open Water Diver course at Sea Angels runs through five specialty dives, going to a maximum depth of 30 metres. The rate is 25,000 RUB per person under either SSI or PADI; study materials and certification are billed separately (SSI 12,000 RUB, PADI 17,300 RUB). The course requires a valid Open Water Diver certification as a prerequisite. The club certifies through both SSI and PADI, and students choose at sign-up which card they want. The five dives are structured around specialty topics — the specific combination depends on the certification agency and what the student wants to focus on. The club offers a wide range of specialty options: deep diving, navigation, buoyancy, wreck, night diving, drift, nitrox, photography, and others. The AOWD course is typically the vehicle through which students get structured exposure to two or three of these areas before pursuing full specialty certifications separately. Dives for the AOWD can be done in Moscow-region open water during summer or during a club dive trip. The club runs travel to destinations including the Red Sea, and some students use a trip as the opportunity to complete the AOWD dives in warmer, clearer conditions than a Moscow lake offers. The combination of pool-adjacent scheduling and trip-based open water completion gives practical flexibility. The club has been running AOWD courses for more than fifteen years alongside the full professional and specialty catalogue. Instructors hold qualifications across PADI, SSI, NDL, and CMAS. For divers who have their OWD and want to push further in a structured way before committing to individual specialty certifications, this course covers the most ground per course fee.
Rescue Diver
The Rescue Diver course at Sea Angels covers emergency recognition, prevention, and response — both at the surface and underwater. The group pool-and-theory phase costs 20,000 RUB per person (groups from three students); pair format is 24,000 RUB; individual is 28,000 RUB. Equipment rental is included in the pool phase. Study materials and the open water exam (12,000 RUB) are separate. Certification is available under PADI or SSI. The pool phase runs through scenarios covering self-rescue, panicking diver management, unresponsive diver recovery at the surface, and CPR coordination. Theory sessions cover stress recognition, emergency planning, and accident management. The club requires completion of an Emergency First Response or SSI React Right first aid course before the open water component — EFR/React Right is available at the club from 6,000 RUB (group) and 9,000 RUB (individual), with materials and certification additional. The open water phase is four dives conducted in a lake or during a dive trip. Skills assessed in open water include towing and extraction of an unresponsive diver, managing a dive accident scene, and coordinating with emergency services. The combination of pool drills and real open water assessment is the format used by both PADI and SSI for this certification level. Rescue Diver is commonly considered the most demanding recreational-level course in terms of physical and mental engagement. The club has run it for more than fifteen years alongside its full catalogue. For divers aiming at the Divemaster track, Rescue Diver is a prerequisite — completing it at Sea Angels means staying with the same instructors and pool rather than sourcing it elsewhere.
Divemaster
The Divemaster course at Sea Angels is the entry point to professional diving, available under both SSI (Dive Guide) and PADI. The pool and theory phase costs 45,000 RUB per person; the open water assessment is 19,500 RUB. Study materials and certification fees are additional — SSI materials including certification are 38,000 RUB, PADI materials plus the 135 EUR PADI membership fee are 38,000 RUB. Mandatory SSI digital kit, tablets, and fees (100 EUR) are on top of that for the SSI track. The pool and theory phase covers dive theory across all five PADI/SSI knowledge development topics, dive management and supervision, assisting on dive courses, planning and conducting dives in a range of conditions, and managing groups in the water. The club has been running DM courses for more than fifteen years and delivers the full professional pathway: from Divemaster to Assistant Instructor (75,000 RUB pool phase plus 50,000 RUB materials) and on to Open Water Instructor (130,000 RUB from DM level, with materials additional). The open water assessment requires demonstrating Divemaster-level skills in real conditions — managing student divers, conducting guided dives, and running rescue scenarios. This can take place in Moscow-region lakes or during a club dive trip. Prerequisites include Rescue Diver certification, a minimum logged dive count (varies by agency), and a valid first aid certification. The club's instructors hold qualifications across PADI, SSI, NDL, and CMAS, giving DM candidates supervised exposure to multi-agency course delivery. For divers who want to work in the dive industry — as a dive guide, boat crew member, or assistant instructor — Divemaster is the minimum professional level. Completing the full track at Sea Angels, from Divemaster through to OWI, means working with the same team and the same pool throughout, rather than splitting the professional training across multiple centres.
SSI Freediving Pool
The SSI Freediving Pool course at Sea Angels runs four sessions in the МИСиС pool, Профсоюзная 83б, metro Беляево in Moscow. The course costs 35,000–40,000 RUB per person including study materials and the SSI Freediving Basic electronic certification. Group size is up to two students for the standard format; children's sessions from age ten run in groups of up to eight at 3,700 RUB per session. The four sessions cover the history and philosophy of freediving, breath-hold physiology and physics, planning and organising pool freediving sessions, safety protocols and rescue procedures, equipment selection and use, and static and dynamic apnea technique. The course is pool-only — it does not include open water freediving, but the club states clearly that it prepares students for open water freediving courses. After completing the pool course, graduates hold the SSI Freediving Basic certification. The practical component emphasises two disciplines: static apnea (breath-hold at the surface) and dynamic apnea (horizontal underwater swimming). Instructors work through stretching and warm-up routines, correct finning technique, and the specific body positions that maximise efficiency in the water. Safety and rescue procedure for a freediving session are treated as a core skill rather than an afterthought — the course includes hands-on rescue drills. For divers who want to try the discipline before committing to the full course, the club offers a Try Freediving session (SSI Try Freediving) at 5,000–6,000 RUB per person for two hours. The Freediving Pool course runs alongside the club's full scuba catalogue, which means freediving students have access to the same DiveMart equipment shop and service centre used by the rest of the club. Individual coaching sessions in the pool are also available at 3,700–5,000 RUB per session depending on group size.
TDI Intro to Tech
The TDI Intro to Tech course at Sea Angels is an entry point to technical diving configuration, running through three pool sessions and three open water dives. The course starts at 35,000 RUB per person; TDI study materials and certification fees (2,200 RUB + 5,000 RUB) are additional. This is the only TDI-certified tech course at the club at this level — the SSI Extended Range track (Nitrox and Trimix) runs separately. The course introduces twin-cylinder (backmount doubles) configuration, which is the standard setup for technical recreational diving. Students learn twin-set assembly, valve drills, buoyancy in a heavier rig, gas management for two cylinders, and the basic protocols that separate technical diving practice from recreational. Three pool sessions build familiarity with the configuration before the three open water dives. Open water dives are conducted in appropriate conditions — Moscow-region lakes during summer or during a club trip. Gases for open water dives and dive support logistics for the open water phase are not included in the base course fee. Prerequisites are not specified on the site beyond holding a recreational certification; the club can advise at enrolment based on logged experience. For divers coming from a recreational background who want to understand what technical diving actually involves before committing to the full SSI Extended Range pathway (which starts at 45,000 RUB for Nitrox alone, with gases separate), Intro to Tech is a practical lower-commitment first step. The club runs both TDI and SSI tech tracks concurrently, which means divers can get a comparative view of both agency approaches before deciding where to continue.
