OWD Premium / Personal Training

The Open Water Diver Premium/Personal Training at Tauchzentrale offers a highly individualized path to scuba certification, priced at 799 EUR. This course is designed for learners who benefit from one-on-one instruction, allowing for maximum flexibility and a learning pace tailored to your needs. You will receive dedicated attention from your instructor throughout the entire process, ensuring all skills are mastered comfortably. The certification is provided by PADI and SSI, two of the leading agencies in diver education. The curriculum includes essential theory, confined water (pool) training, and four open water dives, culminating in your OWD certification. An additional fifth dive with your buddy is included, offering further practice or exploration opportunities.

This course takes place at Tauchzentrale's dive base on the Groß Glienicker See. While specific visibility data for the lake isn't provided, the climate data offers insight into water temperatures. For example, average air temperatures in July and August reach around 20.6°C and 21.8°C respectively, suggesting comfortable conditions for open water training during the summer months. The lake provides a controlled environment for developing fundamental diving skills before progressing to more advanced open water scenarios.

Tauchzentrale caters to an international clientele, offering instruction in both German and English. The premium, personal training format inherently ensures a very low instructor-to-student ratio, allowing for focused feedback and skill development. The course structure emphasizes self-study for the theoretical components, which can be completed via an app or computer, followed by a dedicated theory workshop at the center. This approach streamlines the practical training, maximizing your time in the water.

Preparation for the course involves completing the theoretical knowledge development, which is conveniently accessible through digital platforms. You will attend a theory workshop at the dive center to finalize paperwork, discuss the schedule, and address any equipment preferences. During the pool sessions, all necessary water skills will be taught and practiced until mastery is achieved. Following this, you will complete four open water dives at the Groß Glienicker See, applying your newly acquired skills in a real diving environment. The inclusion of a fifth buddy dive allows for further consolidation of your abilities or a chance to explore the site at your own pace.
