Learn With Us
Our team of skilled SDI instructors teach in both English and Tetun, and we’re here to support every step of your diving journey, whether you’re getting in the water for the very first time with a Discover Diving course, building confidence in specific skills or starting a professional journey.
Diving isn’t just something you learn once—it’s a skill you can continue to grow. From buoyancy control and night diving to deep dives, Nitrox, side mount, and even solo diving, there are countless ways to level up and get more out of every dive. You can also deepen your understanding of the ocean with courses focused on marine ecosystems or start your path toward a professional diving career with our Divemaster and Instructor programs.
We also offer non-diving courses aimed at improving safety for anyone working or playing in Timor-Leste’s waters. From Emergency First Aid and Oxygen Administration to Safety at Sea training for local fishers and ocean-based businesses, we’re committed to building a stronger culture of safety across our coastline.
Whatever your goals, we’re here to help you become a more confident, capable, and curious ocean explorer.

Professional Courses
Divemaster
The SDI Divemaster course is your first step into the professional world of diving. It equips you with the leadership, safety, and guiding skills needed to support and inspire other divers—opening the door to a rewarding and adventurous career in the dive industry. The course combines in-depth theory, practical workshops, and real-world experience assisting courses and dive trips, giving you the confidence and competence to lead.
At Dreamers, we offer both the standard Divemaster course and an extended internship option, giving you more time for hands-on practice and a deeper understanding of dive theory and skills.
Instructor
The SDI Open Water Scuba Diver Instructor (OWSDI) course prepares certified Divemasters or Assistant Instructors to take the next step and become full instructors.
The program is split into two parts: the Instructor Development Course (IDC), which builds your teaching skills, and the Instructor Evaluation Course (IEC), where you’ll demonstrate your ability to apply them in practice.
