- This type of course is more formal and organized as a group in a classroom or hotel conference room specifically reserved and prepared for this purpose.

Go PRO Academy ROOM & BOARD
Our PADI Go PRO training takes place in the Iberostar Resorts in Punta Cana or Playa del Carmen. We use the pools and our dive center installations right inside the resort. Our dive boats leave straight from the beach of these properties.
Both these areas are a great choice to Go PRO with our Divemaster course or broader PRO packages because of their broad offer of restaurants, cafeterias, beach bars and night life. These hotels zones also have hundreds of alternative hotels, aparthotels, hostels, bed and breakfast and apartment rental opportunities so everyone can find what they are looking for in line with their personal taste and budget.
Our Go Pro staff will help find the right hotel set up and can put you in contact with local real-estate agencies for apartment or studio rental. Dressel Divers itself is based in several all-inclusive hotels in these tourist corridors (see our diving section) for which we offer very competitive rates.
They will also inform you what the options are for meals during the Divemaster and PRO package training days, which range from our economic lunch box to our special academy student hotel day pass rate. If you prefer you can also bring you own meal or sandwiches.
