| Aquarius Diving Club meets ISO quality standards! |
Aquarius Diving Club at the Royal Azur Resort is certified as meeting international standards (EN 14467/ISO 24803) for recreational diving.
In order to receive this certification all areas related to recreational diving and snorkelling are regularly inspected. Like maintenance of equipment and compressors, qualifications of staff, and provision of services according to agreed safety standards. It means our guests can be assured they receive the highest quality in teaching standards and can safely enjoy the diving and snorkeling services we provide. |
Checking in at the centre on the first day is simple. Our staff will help you with the check-in procedure, medical statements, and if needed we can supply you with your equipment needs from our extensive range of branded gear.
For diving tours we will start with a check dive from one of our specialised dive boats which provide for full or half day diving, or for those short on time we can arrange for speed boat diving which only takes around 1½ hours.
For those undertaking courses the training starts at the centre immediately after check-in.
We provide free transfers to the centre from all the hotels and accommodation in the Makadi area. If you have pre-booked your diving with us we will agree your pickup time by the evening before at the latest. |
We are a PADI Gold Palm Resort, offering numerous PADI courses from Discover Scuba Diving to Master Scuba Diver. For the courses we have 2 designated DVD and video equipped classrooms and a heated pool for the skill training. See the course descriptions here.
At the centre you’ll also find showers and rinsing facilities for your equipment, a refreshments bar and you are free to use the local beach for a relaxing swim or snorkeling. |
On our boats and at the centre you’ll find our underwater videographers. A videographer will join and film you and the other guests diving from the boats or film you while you are doing a course at the centre. By the end of the day we will have a video show with clips from both above and under water. Copies are available for sale. |
