Details

Baalberge Bernburg OT, situated in the Salzlandkreis district of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, offers a surprising gateway to underwater adventure with Tauchwerkstatt’s SSI Open Water Diver (OWD) Friends & Family VIP Kurs. While this region may be known more for its gentle landscapes and historical architecture, Tauchwerkstatt transforms it into an entry point for aspiring divers ready to discover the aquatic world beneath the surface.

This course delivers a concentrated, hands-on introduction to scuba diving spread over seven hours. It’s structured to start in the calm confines of a pool where safety and foundational skills like buoyancy control, breathing techniques, and basic dive theory are prioritized. Tauchwerkstatt’s approach is tailored explicitly for small groups—typically friends or families—offering a highly personalized experience that allows participants to progress at their own pace.

What sets this local dive school apart is its emphasis on making diving accessible and welcoming in an area not traditionally associated with oceanic adventures. Upon completion, divers receive a globally recognized certification from SSI that opens doors to dive anywhere in the world. Tauchwerkstatt bridges the gap between the serene inland surroundings of Salzlandkreis and the vast, vibrant underwater realms waiting in global dive destinations.

Baalberge’s moderate climate and local lakes provide a quiet backdrop to focus on learning without distractions. Nearby Bernburg offers practical amenities and accommodation options for visitors traveling to complete the course. The course is more than a lesson; it’s an invitation to a lifelong journey under the waves, starting right from the heart of central Germany.
