There are many certification agencies such as PADI (Professional Association of Dive Instructors), SSI (Scuba Schools International) etc. all who run similar courses.

PADI tends to have the larger market share and so is the most internationally recognized.

Because of this we have based our course details on PADI courses.

You can still dive without taking a course and many operators offer Discover Scuba Diving programs. Also called Introductory Diving.

Please note that you should wait 24 hours before flying after diving, so please make sure you leave enough time in your schedule.

Learn to Dive (Open Water) Course

An Open Water course usually runs over 4-5 days. It can be done in 3 but we do not advise it, as it is very rushed and you really want to enjoy the course at your own pace.

Once qualified you will have a license for life, that will enable you to dive with other certified divers down to a depth of no more than 18m during the day. If you want to learn about night diving, deeper diving or other sorts of environments, you need to continue on to the Advanced Course. More Info >>
