Who we are
Two SDI instructors
Sipa Diving is a family business: two software engineers who fell in love with diving and decided to take teaching it as seriously as we take our craft. That background shows in how we work: we break skills down into small, learnable pieces, we debug problems instead of just repeating "relax," and we believe in feedback you can actually see. The video debrief isn't a gimmick; it's how we'd want to be taught.
What to expect from training with us
What we care about is how you move underwater. The card follows.
Buoyancy, trim and propulsion come first because everything after them depends on them. Get them right and drysuit, sidemount and, one day, technical diving feel calm. Without them, every dive is busy.
Feedback you can see
We film you underwater and go through the footage together. You'll hear what works, what doesn't, and what to change first. We critique the diving, never you. It's uncomfortable for about four minutes.
Debugged, not "just relax"
When something goes wrong, we find out why. Every skill gets broken into small pieces you practise one at a time, so every fix is a specific movement you can make.
Skills that stay with you
You should leave able to notice your trim drifting and correct it on the next dive, with nobody beside you.
