Diving Center

Diver training at Pinguim Sub - We are a dive center that has got all the necessary equipment to all levels of divers.

Besides being the owner of Pinguim Sub, João Rosário is also a IT Trainer IANTD.

Training with Pinguim Sub goes from the most basic way; from Open Water Diver to Closed Circuit Rebreather (CCR) with Trimix mixtures.

We offer IANTD & PADI training; we also do try dives on Scuba & Rebreathers

The closed circuits rebreathers are most probably the way to dive in the future. This type of diving is very different when compared with the traditional method of open circuit (OC- Scuba).

You can start your instruction, right from the entry level as a CCR diver (rebreather diver -CCR), but if you are a open-circuit scuba diver (OC) you always have to do your CCR course, in any case you are in the right place with the right people.

Come and learn with us how to use the so-called "magic gas" (helium) of diving that allows us to dive deeper, longer and more safely. For example, diving to 80 meters deep with an equivalent narcotic depth (END) of 20 meters while using air!

Some reasons why you should consider diving or training with Pinguim Sub. In addition to professionalism, "know how", experience, safety, give advice, and price guarantees, Pinguim Sub is autonomous in all its equipment, facilities, dive boats, as well as in organizing your instruction in the way that is best for you. Despite the fact that even after you had your training with us, regardless of level of training, you can continue your diving training, benefiting in numerous advantages we have for our students on continuing their diving education.
