Courses
A Different Way to Learn Diving !
For many, it becomes a lifelong passion. For others, it becomes a profession. But somewhere along the way, the diving industry began to change. Over the years, we have watched diving evolve from a culture of mentorship, exploration, and responsibility into a market driven by certification sales. Too often, students are encouraged to collect cards rather than develop competence. Courses become products, certifications become goals, and the diver is left believing that another card means becoming a better diver.
We respectfully disagree.
- A certification does not define a diver.
- Character does.
- Knowledge does.
- Discipline does.
- Responsibility does.
At Max Divers, we believe that no two divers are the same. Every student has different strengths, fears, goals, learning speeds, and ambitions. Real education should reflect that. It should challenge you, support you, and prepare you for the real underwater world not simply guide you through a checklist. That belief became the foundation of our entire educational philosophy. Instead of creating independent courses, we built a complete learning journey. A pathway where every step has a purpose. Every skill has a reason. Every challenge prepares you for the next. Understanding Our Pathways. Our education is divided into two progressive pathways.
- S1, S2, S3… represent our Sport Diving Pathway, where divers build strong foundations, confidence, awareness, and experience through carefully structured progression.
- T1, T2, T3… represent our Technical Diving Pathway, designed for those who wish to expand their limits through advanced procedures, deeper knowledge, complex environments, and higher levels of responsibility.
Both pathways can eventually lead to professional and Instructor development, but becoming an instructor is never the objective. Becoming an exceptional diver is. This journey demands commitment. It requires more practice, more patience, more discipline, and sometimes more time than conventional training systems. But we believe that extraordinary results have never come from shortcuts.
At Max Divers, we are not interested in agency politics, certification numbers, or competing over who issues the most cards. We care about creating divers who think before they act, who protect the ocean they explore, who respect their teammates, and who carry themselves with professionalism both above and below the surface.
Our mission is not simply to teach people how to dive. Our mission is to pass on experience, inspire the next generation, and help redefine the relationship between human beings and the ocean. If you choose this path, you are not just enrolling in another diving course. You are becoming part of a lifelong journey.

T.1
Open Water NITROX
6 Nights | 6 Dives
Just like the S1 Open Water Diver course, T1 teaches the essential skills needed to become a safe and confident diver. The course structure remains almost identical, with one important difference: instead of breathing standard compressed air, you will learn to dive using Nitrox (Enriched Air Nitrox).
T.2
Advanced Open Water
3 Nights | 4 Dives
This is where everything you learned in T1 comes to life in the real world. During this stage, you will apply your skills in more challenging environments, expand your experience, and develop greater confidence as a diver. You will learn to dive safely to a maximum depth of 30 meters while gaining experience in night diving and a variety of new underwater environments.
T.3
Rescue Diver & First Aid / CPR / O₂
5 Nights | 4 Dives
In our philosophy, every diver should reach at least this level. Diving is not only about taking care of yourself it’s about being able to protect and support those around you. In T3 , you will learn how to manage yourself, assist your dive team, and respond effectively in emergency situations, both underwater and on the surface. By the end of this stage, you won’t just be a better diver you’ll become the kind of dive buddy everyone is happy to have beside them, because they know they are diving with a trained Rescue Diver who is prepared, confident, and ready to help when it matters most.
T.4
Recreational / Tek Lite / Tek Essentials (Marathon 46)
8 Nights | 14 Dives
T4 is where your real journey into technical diving begins. This program combines three essential technical courses into one comprehensive training experience, completed over 14 training dives.
During these dives, your skills, awareness, buoyancy control, trim, propulsion techniques, and overall underwater discipline will be transformed. Every exercise is designed to build the precision, confidence, and mindset required for the next stages of technical diving.
T.5
Sidemount Diver (Marathon 46)
7 Nights | 12 Dives
T5 introduces you to the world of Sidemount Diving—a configuration where two cylinders are carried comfortably along your sides instead of on your back.
Originally developed for cave exploration, sidemount has evolved into one of the most versatile and efficient diving configurations, now widely used in every area of technical diving. Its superior balance, streamlined profile, equipment accessibility, and built-in redundancy make it a favorite among experienced divers.
T.6
Deep Diver & Explore Technical Diving (Marathon 46)
6 Nights | 10 Dives
T6 takes you beyond recreational limits and into the world of technical deep diving. This stage consists of two separate courses, each designed to gradually expand your knowledge, experience, and confidence while exploring greater depths.
Throughout the program, you will learn advanced dive planning, gas management, emergency procedures, team communication, and the techniques required to safely conduct deeper technical dives. Every training dive introduces new challenges and practical experience, preparing you for increasingly demanding underwater environments.
T.7
Advanced Nitrox Diver (Marathon 46)
6 Nights | 10 Dives
T7 is the stage where you learn to safely use Nitrox mixtures ranging from standard blends up to 100% oxygen. This is one of the most important milestones in technical diving, as it introduces the gases used to increase safety and efficiency during advanced dives and decompression.
T.8
Advanced Nitrox Supervisor & Dive Leader
14 Nights | 20 Dives
T8 is the technical equivalent of the Divemaster level in recreational diving. At this stage, you become a Technical Dive Leader, taking your first step from being an experienced diver toward becoming a diving professional.
By now, you have completed approximately 60 dives throughout your technical training and have developed the skills, discipline, and experience needed to lead by example. This course focuses on leadership, supervision, dive planning, team management, risk assessment, and assisting with technical diving operations.
T.9
Deep Deco / Recreational Trimix / Self-Sufficient Diver (Marathon 20)
10 Nights | 20 Dives
T9 After completing 20 dives during the Technical Dive Leader program, you now have a total of 80 technical dives. To begin your instructor training, you must reach the required milestone of 100 dives.
T9 is a unique combination of several advanced technical courses designed to bridge that gap. During this stage, you will complete the additional dives while refining your skills, expanding your knowledge, and gaining valuable real world experience across multiple areas of technical diving.
T.10
Advanced Nitrox Instructor Program (INDP)CPR, O₂, First Aid, Nitrox, Deep Deco, Night,Sidemount, Trimix
14 Nights
T 10 is the stage where everything you have learned comes together. It is time to transform your knowledge, experience, and skills into the ability to teach others and begin your professional career as a Technical Diving Instructor.
