Diving is one of the fastest growing adventure sports in the world, and for good reason. The feeling of relaxation and weightlessness (a feeling only astronauts can experience) makes diving a unique sport. Diving always is done with a minimum of 2 people which makes it a social sport as well. By the way, did you know that the earth’s surface consists of 70% water and that more species of plants and animals live underwater than above? So there is plenty to discover in the underwater world!

BRESS members can learn to dive at Ortega Diving under the guidance of Suzanne. As an IDC Staff Instructor, she and her instructors can teach any student to dive. Swimming pool De Warande in Oosterhout is their permanent base of operations which allows them to easily provide indoor training and courses all year round. So have you always wanted to get your diving license or are you going on an internship abroad and want to go diving? Get your PADI open water diver certification now and enjoy a new and fascinating world!
