PADI Open Water Course
This is our standard group PADI Open Water Certification Course, a 3 day course offered twice weekly on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday; then again on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
It begins with study of the PADI eLearning program which you can do at home on your own time prior to your trip to Mexico. No need to waste your valuable vacation time studying. We will give you access to the program when you register.
The eLearning contains the most up to date materials available and will require 10 to 15 hours of study.
In Tulum you will join us for three days of water training. The first day you will be introduced to the skills and equipment in a shallow water location. You will have the chance to practice all the skills needed for diving. Day two we will do two dives in one of the world renowned freshwater springs (cenotes) that the Yucatan is famous for. To finish up, on day three we will do two dives on the Caribbean reefs offshore from Tulum. You will get to experience the best of both worlds.
