Oslofjorden Dykkesenter is situated at Vollen Marina in Asker, providing a gateway to the diverse underwater landscapes of the Oslofjord. The centre operates with a strong focus on both recreational progression and technical skill development, catering to divers looking to expand their horizons in local waters or abroad.
The centre is well-established in the local diving community, offering a structured environment for training. Whether you are starting your journey with an Open Water course or refining your buoyancy through dedicated workshops, the focus remains on technical precision and diver development.
The centre is affiliated with PADI and provides a comprehensive range of training through various certifying bodies, including IANTD for technical and cave disciplines. This dual approach allows divers to transition smoothly from recreational diving into more complex environments.
Training is designed to support all levels of experience, from the PADI Seal Team and Bubble Maker programmes for younger divers to professional-level instruction through the IDC and Divemaster courses. The centre also organises community events such as 'Søndagsdykk' and 'Camp Oppdrift' to help divers improve their buoyancy and skills in a social setting.
The course catalogue is extensive, covering the full PADI progression from Open Water Diver and Advanced Open Water to Rescue Diver and Divemaster. For those looking to enter the professional ranks, the centre offers the Instructor Development Course (IDC) and Staff Instructor training.
Technical training is a core strength, with IANTD certifications available for Intro to Cave/Mine, Full Cave, and Advanced Recreational Trimix. Other specialised PADI courses include Wreck Diver, Deep Diver, Night Diver, and the Self-Reliant Diver specialty. Divers can also specialise in specific skills through courses such as Peak Performance Buoyancy, Underwater Navigator, and Diver Propulsion Vehicle (DPV) operation.
The centre is equipped to support both recreational and technical divers, offering air fills and a variety of rental options. For those travelling without their own kit, they provide full equipment hire, including drysuits and wetsuits, as well as masks, snorkels, and fins.
Technical divers will find support for more advanced requirements, as the centre is equipped for Nitrox and rebreather diving. An on-site workshop is also available for equipment maintenance and repairs, ensuring your kit is in good working order.
