What To Expect
If you really want to learn to be an independent diver and be able to dive anywhere in the world, this is the first official and international certification.
With this course you will get a card with which you can dive up to 18 meters anywhere in the world (10 and 11 year olds only go down to a depth of 12 meters)
The course consists of a theoretical part (online and in person) and another practical part in order to be independent and autonomous divers, getting to know our equipment, our body and the marine environment.
This course consists of 3 days, in which the first two days we will do some theoretical and practical classes on the coast in a shallow area full of corals and marine life. On the last day we will go out by boat to do two dives in the reefs of the Cozumel marine park and reach a depth of 18 meters.
Each day we will be doing the activity for about 5 hours.
