Active instructors
Our instructors are active divers themselves. Teaching builds on both course standards and hands-on experience from Norwegian conditions.
Small groups
We prioritize groups that leave time to observe, guide and give concrete feedback to each participant.
Skills that last
The goal is not a minimum requirement – you should understand the skills and be able to use them on your own dives after the course.
Norwegian conditions from the start
Cold water, drysuits and variable visibility make different demands than vacation diving. You get relevant procedures for diving in Norway.
The full path together
Go from entry-level to advanced, instructor or technical without changing training environment at every level.
Equipment, gas and facilities
Online store, rental, gas fills, classroom, dive boat, drying room and accommodation at the dive center.
Diving courses at Skarnsundet
The practical part is carried out at the dive center in Småvika and at suitable pool, confined-water and open-water locations in Trøndelag. Skarnsundet offers varied training conditions – from calm areas for basic skills to more demanding environments for advanced and technical training.
The choice of location is adapted to course level, the skills to be trained, weather and sea conditions, tide and current, the group's experience and operational and safety needs. The exact meeting point is stated on each individual course page.
Combine a course with accommodation
Participants from Trondheim and other parts of Trøndelag can, on many courses, stay at the dive center, with a short distance between teaching and diving.
