Training

Learning how to dive is not a time consuming business. If you feel comfortable swimming in a pool, you should be able to enjoy scuba diving. With little time on your hand, you can become a certified diver. Once you do, Lebanon will have twice as much to offer.

Professional training is a must however. The National Institute for Scuba Diving (NISD) is the oldest school in the business, with a high commitment to safety and education. Supervised by the school director with 24 years of experience and over 4500 dives, our instructors are skilled in introducing you to the marine environment in a responsible and enjoyable way. Apart from the local license, we work with the biggest diving institutes in the world: PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors), NAUI (National Association of Underwater Instructors), TDI (Technical Diving International) and IANTD (International Association of Nitrox & Technical Diving).
