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!

What's Included

  • Bottled water
  • All Fees and Taxes

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

A: Participants in the Open Water Diver course PADI in Cancun cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive. The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024
