PADI Continuing Education in the Caribbean
Diving while sailing
Briefly about myself. My name is Arkadi. I'm living on my sailboat Beruta. Read more about my voyages on the web site http://beruta.creatica.org/. I'm a professional PADI scuba diving instructor. My PADI number is 263227. You may verify my teaching status on the PADI web site by entering this number.
I specialize in private scuba diving and sailing lessons for individuals. I do one-on-one or one-on-two training. I'd like to offer the following PADI courses for people interested in the scuba diving:
Beginner classes:
Main courses:
- Open Water Diver
- Adventure Diver
- Advanced Open Water Diver
- Rescue Diver
- Divemaster
- Master Scuba Diver
Specialty programs:
- Deep Diving
- Enriched Air Diving (Nitrox)
- Search And Recovery
- Underwater Navigation
- Peak Performance Buoyancy
Other PADI programs
Scuba Diving classes for children:
Non-diving training:
- Emergency First Response
- Care for Children with AED
- Emergency Oxygen Provider
- Project AWARE Coral Reef Conservation
I do not provide scuba equipment for the training. You may use your own or I can help you rent it. Approximate cost for the full set on Curacao, for example, is $35 per day per person. Additional tank is from $6 to $8 depending on a location. I recommend that you use your own mask, snorkel, fins, wet suite and BCD due to sizes and hygiene concerns.
Please click on the links above to learn more about each program.
How to sign up
To sign for the program or course, please email me to diving@creatica.org to find my current location in the Caribbean and your preferred place and time for the learning. You may pay cash or by credit card when we start the class. If you want to pre-book it, I request a 50 percent deposit to be paid upon the registration via PayPal. The deposit is refundable no later than 3 days prior to the beginning of the class. The balance is due at the end of a class.
I'd be happy to provide an assistance with your travel arrangements. I might be able to offer limited accommodations on my boat for children or a not-too-demanding single or a couple. Again, email me for the details.
