Located in the Westland region of the Netherlands, IN2DIVE has been operating since 2018. The centre provides a structured approach to learning, combining modern digital theory with practical sessions in both pool and open water environments.
Training is spread across specific locations to ensure the best possible learning conditions, with theory sessions held in Honselersdijk and pool training conducted in De Lier. This organised approach allows for a focused progression through the SSI certification levels.
The centre is led by Rob van der Heiden and Marco te Loo, who established the business to focus on high-quality, individualised instruction. The team operates with a commitment to small group sizes, maintaining a maximum of two students per instructor at all times.
Instruction is available in both Dutch and English, making it accessible for local divers and international students alike. As a professional DAN partner, the centre integrates high safety standards into its training protocols.
For those looking to continue their diving journey after completing their initial courses, the centre maintains a private diving group named 2DIVE, specifically for former students to organise dives together.
IN2DIVE offers a complete curriculum of SSI certifications. Beginners can start with Try Scuba, progressing through Open Water Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver, eventually reaching professional levels such as Dive Master.
Specialty courses are extensive, covering technical and skill-based areas such as Enriched Air Nitrox, Deep Diving, Dry Suit Diving, and Wreck Diving. Advanced training is also available through Advanced Wreck Diving, Stress & Rescue, and the Science of Diving.
For those interested in skill refinement or specific interests, the centre provides training in Perfect Buoyancy, Navigation, Computer Diving, and various ecology-based specialties including Marine Mammal Ecology and Shark Ecology.
The centre provides a full range of equipment for use during training courses, including pool kit and open water gear. This allows students to focus on their skills without the immediate need to invest in a full personal kit.
