Geriatricks Diving

Geriatricks Diving operates as a professional training hub located in Madrid, designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and open water experience. The centre focuses heavily on high-level instruction, serving as a base for those looking to progress through the PADI educational system.

Because the centre is land-based, it utilises dedicated training rooms and swimming pools within Madrid for theory and skill development. To complete the practical requirements of a course or to go on exploration dives, the centre works in close partnership with various dive centres located along the coast.

As a PADI IDC centre, the team is geared towards professional development and high-standard instruction. The instructors are highly qualified, supporting students from their first Scuba Diver course right up to the professional levels of Divemaster and Instructor.

The centre is also equipped to handle younger divers through programmes like PADI Seal Team and Bubblemaker. For those looking to advance their career, they provide the necessary framework for the Instructor Development Course (IDC) and Assistant Instructor training.

The course catalogue is extensive, covering every stage of the PADI progression. Beginners can start with Discover Scuba Diving, Scuba Diver, or Open Water Diver, before moving into Adventure Diver and Advanced Open Water.

For experienced divers, the centre offers a variety of specialties including Nitrox, Sidemount, Wreck Diving, Deep Diver, and Night Diving. They also provide training in buoyancy control and navigation.

Professional training is a core focus, with pathways available for Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, and Open Water Scuba Instructor. The centre also facilitates the Instructor Development Course (IDC) and EFR Instructor training.

The centre provides essential diving kit for hire, including basic equipment and drysuits specifically for those undertaking drysuit specialty courses.

For those looking to manage their nitrogen loading more effectively, Nitrox is available. The centre also offers dive insurance options, which can be arranged on a daily, weekly, monthly, or annual basis.

The local marine life includes sightings of sharks, which can be a highlight for divers looking for larger pelagic species.
