Expand your knowledge and become a fully certified diver!

Are you already certified as a PADI Scuba Diver, jump in and upgrade to the PADI Open Water Course today!

The certification is recognized internationally and valid for life. The course will take you through a series of two theory sessions, two confined water sessions, and two open water dives.

 

At the end of the course, you will be certified to dive with another certified diver, to a maximum depth of 18m/60ft. During the two 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!.

Is PADI Open Water Difficult?
So to answer the question, “Is the PADI Open Water certification hard?”, the answer is that realistically, it is not hard at all. The average person can easily learn to dive but on the way, they will have to address psychological issues.
Can open water divers dive alone?
Solo Diving is a Safe Practice
Learning to be self-reliant is what the solo-diver course teaches. It makes you a better buddy too, and the prerequisite is more than 100 logged dives (and then taught only at the instructor’s discretion). No newbie open-water divers should ever dive alone,” Michael says.

  • Which dive sites will we visit?
    • We normally do 1 dive in Casa Cenote (an open cenote) and 1 on Tulum reef
  • Can the dives be done in Dos Ojos or other Cenotes?
    • No. As you are taking the first part of an Open Water course, all dives must be done in a place with open water, this means that you need to have direct access to the surface.
  • What happens if it rains?
    • 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.
  • How many students does each group have?
    • We take a maximum of 4 students per instructor to enhance your learning experience.
  • Will I be able to dive anywhere in the world with this certification?
    • Yes. You would have a limit of 18m / 60 ft and you need to dive with another Certified diver.
