Completion Course for First-Star Diver Certification: From Gadna-Diving Participants to Certified Divers
If you have gone through the intense experience of the Gadna-Diving program and feel the sea calling you back, you have come to the right place. We invite you to complete your training and become a certified First-Star diver through a focused, professional, and enjoyable program. At our diving club in Eilat, we launch these completion courses every Tuesday—bookable in advance via our website—allowing you to bridge the gap and start diving independently.
Our program is designed to provide you with more than just a coveted certification; it equips you with the confidence and experience needed to safely enjoy the underwater world. We combine high-quality instruction with Eilat’s most stunning dive sites, utilizing modern equipment and adhering to rigorous international standards.
What Our Completion Package Includes
As part of the course, every participant receives comprehensive coverage, including full insurance for the duration of the program, international certification through the leading diving organization SDI, and a digital diver’s card accessible at any time. To ensure your safety, we provide a personal dive computer for your use throughout the entire training period. Furthermore, we believe that the best way to improve your diving skills is simply to dive. Therefore, every course graduate receives 3 days of diving from us as a gift (a total of 9 additional dives), including full equipment, with no time limit on when they can be used. This is our way of ensuring that you can continue to practice and develop as a diver even after completing your official certification.
Course Schedule and Structure: Tuesday through Thursday
The program is designed progressively, allowing you to fill in any gaps from your *Gadna* (pre-military/youth training) program and advance directly to the "First Star" (Open Water Diver) certification:
Tuesday through Thursday: Completing the "First Star" certification. During these days, we will conduct 6 dives to depths of up to 18 meters, covering all the skills required for full "First Star" certification.
