In just 3 days, you can now complete one of the most popular Caribbean dive courses available: the PADI Open Water Diver course.

It is a great program to start with your family, especially if you all start together! An activity that you will be able to enjoy for many years to come, creating stronger ties!

Why PADI Open Water?

As a certified PADI Open Water Diver, the most widely recognized and respected rating in the world, you have the freedom to dive with a buddy independent of a professional. If you already tried a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience or are PADI Scuba Diver certified, check with your instructor to see how credit from these courses may apply to the open water Caribbean dive courses.

What Do I Need To Start?

Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit and comfortable in the water can earn a PADI Open Water Diver certification. If you are between 10 and 14, or have a child between these ages, there is a PADI Junior Open Water Diver program also available.

A PADI Jr Open Water Diver between the ages of 10 and 12 years may only dive with a PADI Professional, a certified parent or certified guardian to a maximum depth of 12 metres/40 feet.

What Will I Do?

Throughout PADI's Caribbean dive courses, you’ll learn fundamentals of scuba diving, including dive equipment and techniques. You earn this rating by completing pool dives, taking knowledge development sessions and by making four open water (ocean) dives.

How Long Will It Take?

We have designed a program based on 3 days of training: 1 day at the pool with knowledge review, and 2 days on the boat for open water scuba diving, along with more knowledge review.These Caribbean dive courses are designed with your vacation in mind.

What Will I Need?

Basically all you need is your bathing suit, sun tan lotion, a towel and a pair of shades!

* All the rental dive equipment, books and materials are included. (You will keep the entire crew pack, which includes the manual, log book, tables, pick card etc…)
