| 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).
