At Deefer Diving we treat each student as an individual. We will never rush you, and will do our best to make our schedule as flexible as possible to suit your needs. With 3 dedicated instructors on our staff, we can keep our student groups small to provide a personalised learning experience.
We believe that learning to dive should be fun and continuing your dive education should be a good experience!
For many people scuba diving turns into a lifelong passion! Our instructors speak English & Spanish.
PADI eLearning allows you to complete your dive theory in your own time before you go on holiday, so that you can get in the water sooner! You need to pay for eLearning in advance, but we will credit 50% of the cost towards to price of your course when you sign up with this link.

During your time with us you will gain confidence in the water, leading divers and demonstrating skills, as well as become part of fun loving dive team.
