ABOUT US
Coral Sea Divers, the most professional diving center in Israel, was established in 1994 by Yuval Ziv, one of the country’s senior diving instructors. His goal for the center: to train the very best divers possible. Over the years, we have certified thousands of divers, hundreds of dive leaders and dozens of diving instructors. Today, we are training the sons and daughters of divers who started out with us.
Our main focus is on training comfortable and safe divers. At the same time, we make sure the atmosphere at the center is home-like and pleasant – our instructors will never get angry if you don’t manage to get certain skill right. (It happens to everyone.) On the contrary, our patient instructors will practice with you again and again until you succeed.
Over the years, we have leaned that training good and comfortable divers involves treating the training process with the utmost seriousness. That’s how we chose our slogan:
“Because diving is serious business” That slogan is the essence of our business.
We’ve also learned that training good, comfortable divers requires a number of tools:
- A suitable environment
- A superior training program
- A high-quality instructor
- Quality control of training
- A Suitable Environment
First of all, there’s the physical environment – the place where you learn. In our case, that means air-conditioned classrooms, shaded and spacious staging areas, roomy toilets and showers, lockers to stow personal items, a snack bar, and advanced and well-maintained gear. We’ve got it all, and more. The gear you are issued at the beginning of the course will be yours for the duration; you won’t need to pass it on to other divers during the week. Your wetsuit won’t be more that a year old, and on open water dives you’ll have a dive computer that will greatly enhance your ability in the water.
Our training environment is comprehensive and extensive. Your diving instructor has completed the most extensive training available in the world today. The instructor works under the close professional supervision of Yuval Ziv, the dive center owner and manager, who is an instructor certifier. The whole team of instructors has been extensively trained in all areas of diving, as well as in striving for excellence in customer relations.
A Superior Training Program (Not all courses are alike!)
Among the various training programs offered in Israel, we have selected the Scuba Schools International (SSI) training program. Its philosophy, like its training system, suits our own, and therefore we believe it will make our students the very best and most comfortable divers they can be.

A High-Quality Instructor Our whole team has undergone their training at Coral Sea Divers. Our instructors work in a supportive learning environment where veteran and experienced instructors are always on hand to consult on any and all subjects. Our instructors are constantly upgrading their skills through advanced training courses in every aspect of diving. In addition, all our instructors are authorized dive-gear maintenance technicians.
Quality Control of Training We operate a strict system of quality control. The quality of our instruction is monitored directly by Yuval Ziv as well as by an SSI quality control monitor who visits us every few weeks to observe our instructors and assess the quality of the instruction you’re receiving.
