SDI Solo Diver and Sidemount courses. Theory and pool in Warsaw, open water where the real depth is. I run every course myself.

Training starts shallow

I don't count dives, I count skills. We drill procedures until they get boring. Boring means mastered.

Pool sessions run in selected Warsaw pools and at DeepSpot in Mszczonów, 45.5 meters deep under one roof.

Courses

SDI Solo Diver

Self-reliance as a skill, not bravado.

You learn to plan and dive on your own: redundant gear, gas management, failures without a buddy. Theory, pool and open water.

  • Age 21 or older
  • Advanced Adventure Diver or equivalent
  • At least 100 logged dives

2 to 3 days: theory, pool, open water

SDI Sidemount Diver

Tanks at your sides, valves within reach.

Configuration, trim and handling in sidemount from scratch. We fit the rig to your body until everything sits where it should.

  • Open Water Scuba Diver certification or equivalent

About 2 days

Package: Solo + Sidemount

Both courses in one training plan.

Solo and Sidemount in one cycle: less repeated theory, more time in the water. We arrange the terms individually.

Arranged individually

Taking both courses? I'll build one schedule on better terms. You won't find prices here, I put each plan together for the specific person taking it.

Where we dive

  • DeepSpot
    Dive pool45.5 m

    DeepSpot

    45.5 meters of warm, clear water indoors in Mszczonów. This is where we drill procedures before we add cold and darkness.

  • Warsaw pools
    Training poolsup to 3 m

    Warsaw pools

    Selected pools around Warsaw for the groundwork: first descents, gear configuration, unhurried evening practice after work.

  • Hańcza
    Glacial lake106 m

    Hańcza

    Poland's deepest lake. Cold, clear glacial water and boulder fields on the slopes. A serious place for serious dives.

  • Tarnobrzeskie Lake
    Flooded sulfur mineusually under 20 m

    Tarnobrzeskie Lake

    A former open-pit sulfur mine, now filled with exceptionally clear water. We dive near the shore; the deep spots are a long swim out, but with a motorboat they stay on the menu.

  • Wapienniki Sulejowskie
    Flooded limestone quarryunder 20 m

    Wapienniki Sulejowskie

    A flooded limestone quarry near Sulejów. Bright walls, an uneven bottom and calm water, good for trim and navigation practice.

Technical diver, SDI Open Water Scuba Diver Instructor

I dive technical and teach in Warsaw. Underwater I value calm and order, and I hold my courses to the same standard. We go deeper only once you trust your hands, not your luck.
