Dive training
The specialty of the Geneva Ocean Academy is to train you in diving before going to sea.
Are you planning your next vacations with the desire to dive but you don't want to waste time there?
At GOA we carry out together, at your own pace the preparation for level 1 diving, more commonly known as the "Open Water Diver". We are an SSI (Scuba schools international) centre and use their high standards as the basis of our training.
The training takes place by performing all the exercises in the pool and following the associated theoretical training by carrying out, at the end, the final exam. You will then receive the necessary diploma and finalize your level 1, allowing you to jump directly into the sea as soon as you arrive in the sun.

​
​
Practical lessons take place on Sundays at 4 p.m. at a swimming pool in Geneva. Depending on your schedule and your personal constraints, we will organize two or three sessions in the pool. Additional sessions can be done depending on your progress. In the company of your GOA SSI instructor, you will learn the fundamentals of scuba diving, the preparation and use of your equipment and you will have completed your first dive in a safe environment.
​
By validating the final exam, you will receive a "Referral Diver" diploma which will allow you to dive in any SSI centre in the world. You will also complete your first level of diving by performing the exercises done in a swimming pool at sea and thus become, officially, an "Open Water Diver". A confirmed, competent and responsible diver.
