Introduction Diving Medicine School is a mixed sportive, medical and adventure program through which our participants become certified PADI divers and get indulged in the educative experience of diving medicine. The program is intended for all international students (of medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, paramedical or nursing school) who have a passion for exploring the unknown. Whether this would be the underwater life through diving or the interesting, new topic of diving medicine. All in the beautiful atmosphere of the lovely city of Dahab. The program provides an ideal getaway; which combines the relaxing and magnificent natural beauty of Dahab with the modernised seaside experience of the city of Sharm El-Shiekh. You will come to realise that the diversity and beauty of the Sinai Peninsula is unmatched.
The Program You get to choose from a beginner Open Water Diver Course or an Advanced Open Water Diver Course
The Fun part about this course is... Well just about all of it, because learning to dive is incredibly fun. You breath underwater something you will surely remember for ever and get the chance to see & experience the marine life & probably live it.
PADI Open Water Diver The PADI Open Water Course is the most popular diving course in the world. It is the first leap into the world of diving and the lifestyle it has to offer. The course will enable you to dive into a depth of 18m and basically do everything that comes to your mind down there. Learning to dive is incredible, it is a new dimension, a new ability.
Program outline: 5 Confined Water Sessions (Skills learning how to use equipment & get comfortable underwater) 4 Open Water Dives (18 meters maximum depth in different diving sites to master diving on your own) 5 Sections of PADI DVD Videos (featuring skills to be watched and discussed with the instructors) 5 Chapters of Open Water manual (Knowledge reviews, quizzes and final exam)
PADI Advanced Water Diver The PADI Advanced Open Water Course requires participants to already be Open Water or CMAS (1star) certified. This course is a great deal. You get to further improve your underwater flexibility, buoyancy and movement while exploring the true breath-taking underwater scenes in Dahab. It enables you to dive up to 30m and dive from a long list of Adventure Dives. There are two required dives Deep and Underwater Navigation and other three, for a total of five dives.
