Open Water Diver course PADI in Cancun
Overview
Come experience unparalleled adventure and discover the wonders of the aquatic world!
The advantage of carrying out this certification in Mexico is the great diversity of diving sites present. There are millions of animals, plants, caves and cenotes that can only be seen in Mexico.
According to National Geographic, water covers more than 70 percent of the surface of our planet and only 2 to 5 percent of the oceans have been studied. There are more than 2.2 million species of organisms living in the oceans, of which only 194,400 are known.
This 3-day course includes a theoretical and a practical part with 4 dives in the sea.
Our experienced instructor will help you master the theory with humor and professionalism. We will send you in advance a digital course manual so that you can learn before your holiday.
Following the theoretical exam, you will officially join the ranks of divers!
