Discover Scuba Diving (Schnuppertauchen)
A one-day introduction to scuba breathing with no prior experience required. At Kappi-Divers in Weetzen, the session runs under direct instructor supervision and gives participants their first experience breathing underwater in a controlled setting. No certification is issued at the end — this is strictly a try-dive, not a qualification. It's well suited to anyone who wants to check whether diving is for them before committing to a full Open Water Diver course. Equipment is included in the €49 price, so participants arrive with nothing and leave with a genuine sense of what scuba feels like. The minimum age is 10 years. For children between 10 and 15 there is a dedicated Junior Discover Scuba Diving programme at the same price, running under the same conditions with PADI-certified supervision.
Scuba Diver
The PADI Scuba Diver is a subset of the Open Water Diver curriculum — it covers roughly the first half of the OWD programme and certifies holders to dive with a guide to 12 metres. At Kappi-Divers, this is positioned as the right choice for someone with limited time who still wants a recognised PADI card. The course runs in a single day and includes e-learning access and the certification. Equipment is provided. Minimum age is 10 years. Because it's a direct stepping stone to the full Open Water Diver, any work done here can be credited toward the OWD later. There are no additional costs beyond the €429 course fee. For divers who plan to always dive with a guide rather than independently, this level covers the practical needs without the additional open water sessions that the OWD requires.
Open Water Diver
The foundational PADI certification, certifying divers to 18 metres with a buddy anywhere in the world. Kappi-Divers offers this course in four formats: a standard version split into pool/theory and open water, a compact version, a VIP option for two people, and a solo VIP — the last two being the more intensive private formats. E-learning and the PADI certification card are included from €399. The open water dives take place at an external dive site; dive base fees and travel costs are additional. The course runs approximately four to six days depending on the format chosen. Minimum age is 10 years. The school has been running OWD courses since at least 2020 and multiple team members completed their own certification here before moving on to instructor level. The four package options mean the course can be adapted to different schedules — the compact version suits people who want to complete training in a single block, while the standard split suits those combining theory evenings with weekend pool and open water sessions.
ReActivate
A one-day refresher course for certified divers who have been out of the water for an extended period. The programme mixes theory review with practical pool sessions, covering dive planning, equipment handling, and safety procedures. At Kappi-Divers the course uses the PADI ReActivate structure, which includes an e-learning component and updates the diver's PADI record on completion. Equipment is included; dive base fees apply for any open water component. Minimum age is 10 years. The €139 price covers e-learning and the certification update — additional costs are the same external site fees that apply to any pool-to-open-water progression. This is the practical route back into active diving for someone who certified years ago and hasn't logged a dive since.
Rescue Diver
A five to eight-day course focused on problem recognition and management underwater. The programme covers preventing emergencies, self-rescue, recognising and responding to stress in other divers, and handling unconscious divers at the surface. E-learning and certification are included at €369. Equipment is provided; dive base fees and air costs at the open water site are additional. Minimum age is 12 years. At Kappi-Divers, the Rescue Diver is also offered in combination with the Emergency First Response course at €445 for the bundle — the EFR covers CPR and first aid skills that are both a prerequisite for the Rescue Diver and independently useful outside diving. The Rescue Diver certification is also a prerequisite for the Divemaster course, so for anyone on the professional path this is the last recreational-level step before going pro.
Emergency First Response
A one-day first aid and CPR course covering primary care, secondary care, and basic life support. The programme includes e-learning and certification; no minimum age is specified. At €89 this is one of the lower-cost qualifications at Kappi-Divers, and it's open to non-divers as well. Several of the school's instructors hold EFR Instructor Trainer status, meaning the course is taught by people qualified to train other EFR instructors. The EFR certification is a prerequisite for the Rescue Diver course and remains valid for 24 months. It's also a standalone qualification for anyone — trainers, supervisors, coaches — who wants current first aid skills without the diving context. No additional costs beyond the €89 course fee.
Master Scuba Diver
The highest non-professional rating in the PADI system, combining a Rescue Diver certification, five specialty certifications, and a minimum of 50 logged dives. At Kappi-Divers, with twenty specialty courses available, there's no shortage of options for building the required five specialties. Price is on request — it depends on which specialties are chosen and whether any of the adventure dives from the AOWD can be credited toward specialty completions. Duration is variable by the same logic. The school has the instructor depth to cover a wide range of specialties in-house. Several team members hold multiple specialty instructor qualifications, and the three Course Directors can oversee the more complex elements of the pathway. For divers who completed their OWD here and worked through the Rescue Diver locally, the MSD is a natural milestone that documents a serious investment in skill development.
Assistant Instructor
A four-day course preparing Divemasters to start teaching entry-level PADI courses independently. At Kappi-Divers, the AI course feeds directly into the IDC and is taught by the same Course Director team that runs the full instructor development programme. The €499 fee covers the course; materials and PADI fees are additional. Minimum age is 18 years. No e-learning or certification card is listed as included in the base price — confirm specific inclusions with the school. The four-day format is intensive. Candidates practice teaching confined water skills and assisting in open water sessions, with direct feedback from instructors who have been through the same pathway. The school's active student base means AI candidates can assist on real courses rather than simulated scenarios. For Divemasters who completed their training here, the AI course is the natural next step and shortens the overall timeline to full Instructor status.
Emergency First Response Instructor
A one to two-day course qualifying holders to teach PADI Emergency First Response courses independently. At Kappi-Divers, several team members already hold EFR Instructor Trainer status, so the course is taught by people at the level above the certification being sought. The programme covers didactic fundamentals, the structured delivery of an EFR course, and working with different participant groups. Practical exercises and teaching simulations are included. PADI fees are additional to the €430 course fee. Prerequisite is a valid EFR certification no older than 24 months. The course is explicitly open to non-divers — trainers, coaches, and educators who want to teach first aid but don't dive. Minimum age is 18. The EFRI is included in Kappi-Divers' IDC special package, making it part of a natural bundle for candidates going through the full instructor pathway.
Bubblemaker
A supervised introduction to scuba breathing for children aged 8 and older, conducted in water shallower than 2 metres. At Kappi-Divers, this runs under direct PADI professional supervision with all equipment included in the €199 price. The session introduces children to breathing underwater and basic equipment use — no certification is issued but the activity is structured within PADI's framework and is documented in the participant's PADI profile. The school explicitly markets diving to families and younger participants as part of its core programme, and the Bubblemaker slots into a progression: from here, children can move to Junior DSD at age 10 and the Junior Open Water Diver once they're ready. At one day and with all equipment included, this is the entry point for the youngest participants — and for parents who dive, it's a structured way to bring younger family members into the water.
Junior Discover Scuba Diving
A five-day certification course for participants between 10 and 15 years old, running the same PADI curriculum as the adult Open Water Diver but with lower depth limits and smaller instructor-to-student ratios. Equipment and e-learning are included at €449. At Kappi-Divers the certification comes with PADI's standard age-based restrictions: 10–11 year olds must dive with a PADI professional or certified parent to a maximum of 12 metres; 12–14 year olds can dive to 18 metres with a certified adult. At 15, the Junior OWD automatically converts to a standard Open Water Diver with no additional testing required. The school has a dedicated kids and youth diving programme and markets family diving explicitly, so younger students aren't an afterthought here. The Bubblemaker and Junior DSD sessions feed directly into this course for children who've already had water contact at the school. No additional costs are listed beyond the course fee — unlike the adult OWD, dive base fees are not listed as extra here.
Junior Adventure Diver
A two-day course for Junior OWD holders aged 12 and above, covering navigation, buoyancy, and deep diving plus three elective adventure dives chosen by the student. Each elective dive can be credited toward a full specialty certification later. Price is on request. Equipment is included. The course is the junior equivalent of the Adventure Diver qualification and feeds toward the Junior Advanced Open Water Diver — both are available at Kappi-Divers. At 12, participants are old enough to expand their skills beyond the basic OWD framework, and the three elective dives give younger students a taste of where the specialty curriculum leads. With twenty specialties available at the school, the choice of electives is genuinely broad. For young divers who completed their Junior OWD at the school and are looking for the next structured step, this is the natural progression before the full Junior AOWD.
