Dare to take the plunge… become a certified diver…

The PADI Scuba Diver certification might just be for you… Particularly if you expect to go scuba diving primarily in the company of a dive guide or if you have limited time to devote to scuba certification, consider becoming a PADI Scuba Diver. The certification is recognized worldwide and is valid for life, to a maximum depth of 12 meters / 40 feet

Discover diving while having fun, 2 dives in the sea are enough to become a PADI certified Scuba Diver!

The Fun Part …

The Scuba Diver certification opens the door to the underwater world for anyone who’s thought that a course would take too long or be too difficult. During the course, you’ll make one pool dives and two dives in the ocean in the reef of Playa Del Carmen under the supervision of your PADI Instructor.

Pre-requisites :

To enroll, you need to:

Be at least 10 years old for Junior Scuba Diver course and at least 15 years old for the Scuba Diver course. PADI eLearning requires a minimum age of 13 years due to international internet laws.
Show that you can tread water for ten minutes and swim 200 m in our pool.
Fill up our PADI Medical Questionnaire. This form is to find out if you should be examined by your doctor before participating in recreational diver training. If any of the items in the Medical Questionnaire apply to you, you must consult a physician prior to participating in scuba diving.

What you will learn :

The PADI Scuba Diver course consists of three distinct sections:

All the basics of scuba diving through theory knowledge development
A set of scuba skills in the pool that you’ll use again during open water dives.
And an appreciation for the underwater world that will keep you coming back for more bottom time every chance you get!

During the course you’ll cover material and practice skills related to topics such as:

Buoyancy skills including comfortable ascents and descents, and breathing underwater.
Staying warm underwater, streamlining your swimming skills and buddy diving techniques.
Diving environments and aquatic life you’re likely to encounter.

PADI’s Open Water Diver materials cover what you need to know about basic scuba diving skills, terminology and safety procedures. For each concept you’ll read a description and watch a video demonstration. Then you’ll jump in the pool (or pool-like environment) to practice these skills with your instructor. Later, as a certified diver, use the course materials as a reference guide for future diving adventures and to review what you learned.
