GVD ACADEMY
Why GVD ACADEMY?
Because:
- I’m looking for a Divemaster Training Program that will give me more than just a certification - from people who are dedicated to preparing me for actual success in the diving industry.
- I’m not a diver yet, or I don’t have all the prerequisites to start the Divemaster program, but that’s my dream! I’m looking for a Fast Track Program to coordinate my courses and enrich my training with my professional future in mind.
- I want to be a better diver! I’m looking for professional training in one or more Diving Specialties from instructors who use those specialty skills every day.
