Philosophy


With our two in-house instructor trainers, Andy and Kerstin, you will benefit from a wealth of teaching and diving experience. Their strong background in technical diving is reflected in their approach to teaching recreational courses.

However, this does not mean desperately trying to turn everyone into a tec diver and holding military-style courses. Rather, it’s about instilling a positive attitude towards learning new skills, techniques and equipment configurations. No matter what stage you are at in your professional diving career, we never stop learning, and that’s how we can improve as an industry. This starts with moving away from the traditional approach of kneeling down while learning skills. At Lagona Divers we encourage teaching in the neutral position from the start, but according to the level of the student!

This continues with the use and teaching of different equipment configurations such as full face mask, sidemount or a single tank setup with wing and longhose configuration and continues with the inclusion of current aspects such as gas densities in the teaching of general decompression theory in the SSI XR programmes.
