Bubbles - Club for Divers

Located in Amchit at Nova Mare, Bubbles - Club for Divers has been a fixture of the Lebanese diving scene since 2010. This boutique centre is defined by its focus on quality and individual progression, moving away from high-volume certification models to ensure every diver receives attentive guidance.

The geography of the area provides a diverse range of underwater environments. From the deep, current-swept walls of Amchit to the more contemplative, historical waters near Byblos, the coastline offers something for every level of experience.

As an SSI Diamond centre, Bubbles holds the highest level of recognition for excellence in training and safety. The team is led by founder and Instructor Trainer George, supported by a professional staff including Mario (Divemaster Instructor), Eddy (Open Water Instructor), and Kriza (Divemaster).

The centre's philosophy is built around small groups and personalised coaching. This approach is particularly evident in their technical programmes, where precision and safety are paramount.

Beyond training, the team is actively involved in local marine conservation. They collaborate with the Honor Frost Foundation to protect maritime archaeological heritage and work with Diaries of the Ocean on lionfish control programmes and underwater clean-ups.

Bubbles offers a comprehensive curriculum through SSI, covering every stage of a diver's journey. This begins with introductory courses like Try Scuba, Basic Diver, and Scuba Diver, progressing through Open Water Diver and Advanced Open Water Diver.

For those pursuing a professional career, the centre is an SSI Instructor Training Center (ITC), offering courses up to Divemaster and Instructor level. They also provide specialised training in Perfect Buoyancy, Computer Diving, Dry Suit Diving, and Night & Limited Visibility.

The technical department is highly developed, offering advanced certifications including Extended Range, Decompression Diving, and the XR Foundations. For rebreather divers, they provide training for CCR Extended Range, CCR Technical Extended Range, and CCR Hypoxic Trimix.

The centre provides a full range of rental kit for divers. Whether you are looking for basic equipment or more specialised items, everything is available on-site to ensure you can focus on your dive.

For those looking to extend their bottom time or dive deeper, Nitrox is available. The centre also supports technical divers with support for rebreather and Trimix diving requirements.

The Amchit site is subject to frequent natural currents which act to maintain high water clarity and a healthy reef ecosystem. These currents are a defining feature of the local underwater environment.

For the best conditions, plan your visit between September and December. During this period, you can expect calmer surface conditions and steady visibility.
