During the autumn, open water diver referral courses have been popular. The referral course covers the theory of diving and the practice of diving skills in the pool is done as an intensive course in Finland.

As the weather and water cool down, basic diving courses have focused on basic courses conducted with a drysuit. Diving with a drysuit is warm and comfortable all year round, and the water or air temperature does not matter! In many Finnish dive sites, visibility is also significantly better when the waters cool down 🤿 Our basic courses run all year round, and the equipment is adapted to the students' own needs and the weather!

Diving school Rausku is now also a PADI Recreation Center🤿 We have courses all year round, come and dive with us💙 For winter vacations, you still have time to complete the basic scuba diving course as a referral course, so you don't have to spend your vacation doing more open water exercises to get your diving qualification 🏝️

Our instructor Ilpo has progressed on his instructor path to the PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer level, which allows him to teach an even wider range of specialized courses 🤿 Congrats Ilpo!

September brings two more full open water courses 🔥 Starting at the end of September, it's time for the last few to grab warmer gear, and for the rest of the year, we'll be diving in combination courses: PADI Open Water Diver + drysuit course.

The first open water diver course of the spring was kicked off over the weekend in Tampere 🦈

We organized a Deep Diver course in the Red Sea, where the skills learned during the course were immediately put to good use at the Red Sea’s stunning dive sites 🐠

A Nitrox course was also organized in the Red Sea, which immediately proved useful as the wreck and reef dive sites required longer dive times and the added margin provided by enriched air for the dive week 🐬

With a try dive, participants got to experience scuba diving and take their first breaths underwater before the Open Water Diver course in Helsinki 🦈

You can still get your diving certification for summer trips or start a new hobby for the summer with us. Read more about Open Water Diver courses in Helsinki 🤿
