PADI Introduction courses
Please note that in Malta, all recreational diving services are offered, promoted, organised and provided exclusively through licensed dive centres. At present, Claude D Zacharias is an instructor at OrangeShark Dive Centre, MTA 0120.
In Sweden, however, an instructor may teach diving independently, at their own responsibility.
The stated prices apply for a minimum of two participants.
If a participant is unable to complete the course within the expected time frame, an additional fee of €70 per commenced day or dive currently applies. This may – just as weather conditions – delay the course and could affect the participant’s ability to complete it, for example due to flights or similar circumstances, for which neither the dive school nor the instructor can be held responsible.
