Fast Progression
Designed Pathways
Stop stitching your week together.
Start building real confidence.
Dahab makes progression easy — everything is close, schedules are flexible, and you can dive a lot.
That’s the good news.
The downside?
Many divers end up with a week that feels fragmented: one course here, a few random dives there, a new focus every morning… and the learning never fully settles. You finish “more qualified”, but not necessarily more comfortable.
Fast Progression Pathways are for people who want a different outcome:
Less noise. More momentum.
A plan that builds confidence step by step — so you feel calmer, more capable, and genuinely ready for whatever you dive next.
Tell us your dates — we’ll recommend the best pathway.
What this is about
Fast Progression isn’t “cramming”. It’s structured progression.
We design your week as one coherent learning journey where:
- skills build in the right order (so diving feels easier, faster)
- coaching stays consistent (no resets, no mixed messages)
- you get integration time (so it sticks, not fades)
- your schedule stays realistic (progress without burnout)
You’re not just collecting certifications.
You’re building a stronger diver.
Who this is for
- You want to progress quickly without feeling rushed
- You hate decision fatigue (“What do we do today?”)
- You care how you’ll feel underwater after the course ends
- You want the “I’ve got this” feeling — not just the card
Why this is better than “one course + a few dives”
Because most divers don’t need more dives. They need better sequencing.
A classic Dahab pattern looks like:
Course → relief → fun dives → skills drift → next course feels like starting over.
A pathway flips it:
Course → coached integration → next step becomes easy.
Emotionally, it feels completely different:
you stop “trying to keep up” and start feeling naturally confident.
Practical note
- “From” pricing applies where options vary (speciality choices, schedule, external logistics).
- External costs (site access fees, boat trips, equipment rental if needed) are always communicated in advance.
Pathway Options
Choose what you want to feel by the end of your trip — and we’ll design the plan around it.
Confidence Path
Open Water → Advanced
690 €
Most chosen — the cleanest way to build real freedom quickly.
For people who want to go from beginner to genuinely independent diver — with a coherent plan and no gaps.
Why it works:
Advanced becomes easier when it’s built directly on fresh fundamentals — not weeks or months later.
Complete Diver Path
Open Water → Advanced → Rescue
990 €
Best value — the strongest all-round confidence upgrade you can do in one trip.
Range + awareness + calm decision-making.
This is the pathway that upgrades how you dive — and how you think underwater.
Why it’s better than doing them separately:
Rescue lands deeper when your comfort and control are already warm — you learn faster, retain more, and leave with real “calm under pressure”.
Smooth Landing
Open Water + Guided Integration (5 dives)
650 €
For people who don’t want their first certified dives to feel shaky.
What you get:
Certification + coached comfort. Your skills settle through real dives — so you enjoy your first week as a diver instead of overthinking every move.
Advanced Plus — The Smart Diver Bundle
Advanced + 2 Specialities
from 690 €
Not “more courses”. More capability.
Choose two specialities that match your goals (most in-demand: Nitrox, Deep, Navigation, Buoyancy).
Why it beats “Advanced + a few fun dives”:
You leave with targeted competence you feel immediately — on every dive afterwards.
Pro Foundations — Before Divemaster
Advanced + Rescue + Experience Block (guided integration)
from 1.150 €
For people considering Divemaster, but wanting to build true readiness first — not learn professionalism while still searching for comfort.
What the Experience Block is (and what you get)
A structured set of coached dives that turns training into real-world competence.
Instead of “a few fun dives”, you get:
- purposeful diving days (each dive has a clear focus)
- coached integration of buoyancy, awareness and problem-prevention
- progression planning (sites + sequencing that build confidence)
- feedback that upgrades your judgment — not just technique
In plain terms: it’s what makes you feel professional-ready, not just certified.
(The exact number of guided dives is designed around your dates, level and goals.)
Divemaster Track — Designed Plan
Advanced + Rescue → Divemaster (structured pathway)
from 1.600 € (duration-dependent)
For people coming to Dahab specifically to go pro.
We map a realistic plan based on your time, starting level, and how involved you want the mentorship to be.
Why a pathway (not “just DM”):
Because the fastest professional progress comes from removing weak links first — then building hours and leadership on top of a strong base.
Typical durations (to set expectations)
Most Divemaster tracks are designed for 4–6 weeks.
If you’re short on time, we can create a 3–4 week intensive — best suited for divers who already feel very comfortable in the water and want a highly focused schedule.
(Exact timing depends on your current level, water time, and daily logistics.)
