Welcome to Dive Factory GmbH – we're glad you found your way to us!

We’re excited about your interest in our dive school, dive center, and the unique community we’ve built around scuba diving. For us, it’s all about underwater adventure, high-quality training, personal support, and a true passion for diving.

Who we are

We are Dive Factory GmbH, a modern PADI 5‑Star Career Development Center located in Gretzenbach, Switzerland. Since opening our new dive center in 2023, we’ve brought together everything a diver could want across more than 450 m²: training, equipment, consultation, service, and above all – a deep love for the water.

Our goal is to introduce people to diving in a safe, competent, and joyful way – from that very first breath underwater to professional-level certifications. We are committed to the highest standards, modern facilities, and a passionate team.

What we offer

Our services cover everything related to recreational diving – for beginners, advanced divers, and professionals:

• PADI diving courses: From Discover Scuba Diving and Open Water Diver to Divemaster and Instructor Development.

• Equipment sales & advice: We offer high-quality diving gear and stylish waterwear.

• Servicing & maintenance: We professionally inspect, service, and repair your equipment in our own workshop.

• 24/7 filling station: Certified divers have access to our air and Nitrox filling station at any time.

• Tank inspections: Regular and reliable – with a fast turnaround time.

Our philosophy

Our guiding principle is called AQUA, which stands for:

• A for Adventure: We love discovering new dive sites, new perspectives, new experiences.

• Q for Quality & Safety: We follow the highest safety and training standards.

• U for Underwater conservation: We’re committed to sustainable diving and ocean protection.

• A for Achievement through Education: Our training is professional, individual, and full of heart.

Diving together – our community

We see diving not just as a sport but as a shared experience. That's why we regularly organize:

• Fun dives: Every first Sunday of the month, we dive together – open to all levels.

• DIVE-Höck: A casual get-together for divers and anyone curious about diving – good food, great conversations.

• Events & specials: From themed evenings and dive trips to workshops – there’s always something happening.

Sustainability matters to us

We’re conscious of our environmental impact – by reusing packaging, sourcing local products, using eco-friendly processes, and supporting ocean conservation through regular donations. For example, we support Sharkproject, an organization dedicated to protecting sharks and their habitats.

Our team

Behind Dive Factory is a team of experienced and certified PADI instructors. Each of us brings unique strengths, deep knowledge, and even more passion to the table – and together we make sure your diving experience is safe, educational, and unforgettable.
