Change the way you see the world, learn to breathe underwater today!
PADI Open Water Course is recognized internationally and valid for life. The course will take you through a series of five theory sessions, five confined water sessions, and four open water dives. At the end of the course, you will be certified to dive unsupervised with your buddy, to a maximum depth of 18 meters. During the four open water dives you will see some of the most diverse marine life and aquatic plants the Caribbean reef has to offer. The water is warm and crystal clear. The reef is full of life, colors, and fun. Join us making bubbles under the waves!
Do dive certifications expire?
No, your certification will not expire. As a PADI Open Water Diver, your certification is good for life. If you do not actively participate in scuba for an extended period of time, however, it’s a good idea to refresh your skills through the PADI ReActivate class.

If the weather conditions do not allow us to go to the sea, we would do the dives in another open cenote or if you have time, we would reschedule for the next available day.
