Learn About the endless oceans Dive Centre Gozo difference
At Endless Oceans Dive Centre Gozo we believe that there is no such thing as a "one size fits all" approach to learning to dive. Each person is unique and as such we tailor our courses to the student in order to make them educational, enjoyable and safe. The Endless Oceans Dive Centre Gozo team is built with diver education in mind with each instructor being a SSI Divemaster Instructor or higher with at least 5 years experience in diver education and a minimum of 150 certifications. As divers they have thousands of dives under their belts and decades of experience. When looking through the courses below you will notice that we state the maximum number of students in any course, in all cases this is at least half the number allowed by standards and will never be more than four. This is another way Endless Oceans assure you will get the most out of the time you choose to spend with us. Endless Oceans Dive Centre Gozo offers exclusively the Scuba Schools International (SSI) system of diver education. The SSI system is well proven and provides the flexibility used by our experienced team of instructors to make sure you leave as a comfortable, confident and safe diver who can get the most out of their future dives. The SSI e-learning platform also allows our instructors to create a hybrid online-real world academic experience and by using this approach we can create academic workshops which concentrate on the points which are most relevant to each student. All of our instructors are multi-lingual and for each course below you will find a list of languages we offer the course in. For all courses where the SSI e-learning platform is available there are further languages to choose from should you wish to do the e-learning in a language we do not offer. |
It is important to note that all diving activities on the Maltese Islands require a medical self declaration, also all persons over the age of 60 will require a "Fit to Dive" medical from a doctor familiar with diving medicine. You can find a link to the medical forms here. If you answer yes to any of the questions you will require a diving medical which we suggest you have before coming to Gozo to dive.
