This course enables you to dive with a buddy without the supervision of a PADI dive professional and rent gear.
Quick Details
Price Includes: All dives off Coki Beach, equipment, dive manual and registration
Duration: 2 to 3 Days, 4 to 6 Hours each day
Ages: 10 and Up (Note: 10-14 years old divers earn a Junior Open Water Diver certification)
With this certification, you are permitted to dive to a depth of 40 feet under the direct supervision of a PADI Dive Professional.
On your next dive vacation, you don’t have to take a Discover Scuba Diving class again.
The Scuba Diver Course is a wonderful opportunity to explore the underwater world with the comfort and safety of having an experienced guide with you. The course is designed for people that don’t have the time to complete the full Open Water certification course but still want to take advantage of diving opportunities while on vacation.
The knowledge and skills you learn in the Scuba Diver training represent 2/3 of the Open Water Certification, which can be completed at a later date when you find the time.
For this course, we feature small groups and personal service. All training dives are done at Coki Beach, including the confined water portion, which is much better than using a pool!
