Stichting Duikvrienden is a Dutch diving education foundation established in 2020 by friends with long-standing experience in the sport. Drawing on their background in running a dive school and teaching divers, the founders aim to introduce people to the underwater world through safe, enjoyable, high-quality training tailored to each student.

The foundation offers courses through the PADI system, including beginner programmes such as PADI Open Water and PADI Advanced, as well as specialties such as deep diving and dry suit diving. Training can be arranged to suit individual needs, with private lessons available. Children can also take diving courses from the age of eight. Rather than relying on fixed course dates, Stichting Duikvrienden plans schedules together with students to fit their availability.

When there is sufficient interest, the foundation also organises diving holidays combined with courses abroad. It currently works with a Dutch resort in El Quseir, Egypt. With an enthusiastic, personal approach, Stichting Duikvrienden helps students build their skills and earn certifications that enable them to explore underwater destinations around the world.
