PADI Open Water Diver course in Playa del Carmen

3 days
Multi-Day
About this activity
The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three sections: theory, pool sessions, and open water dives. First, students receive all necessary information about the underwater environment, scuba diving equipment, basic techniques, and skills to dive safely. During pool classes, you'll practice all the skills used on open water dives — like ear equalization and mask removal and replacement — in a controlled environment before entering the open water. Finally, apply your knowledge and new skills on open water dives under the watchful eye of a PADI-certified instructor.

Day 1 starts with a morning transfer from your hotel in Playa del Carmen to the dive center. After a first lecture and the viewing of a training video, you'll get acquainted with your equipment and have about 2 hours of practice in the pool before returning to your hotel in the afternoon. 

Day 2 takes you to the open Casa Cenote for an initial 1-hour dive after a safety briefing. Following a break and another briefing, you'll take a second 1.5-hour dive, then return to the dive center for a discussion and a second lecture. In the afternoon, you're returned to your hotel.

Day 3 begins with a morning transfer from your hotel to the marina. Board the boat for a briefing, followed by a first open water dive. After about an hour, take a break before a second briefing and dive in the clear waters of the Caribbean Sea. After returning to the dive center for your final exam (about 1 hour), you're dropped-off at your hotel.

Note: The PADI certification is recognized worldwide and is valid for life. Having achieved it, you are qualified to dive at any dive center in the world up to a maximum depth of 60 feet (18 meters).

I would recommend this experience to everybody, as it was above my expectations. The price is cheaper than in hotels (150 USD less) but the quality is definitely superior. The instructor was very helpful and able to transmit his enthusiasm and made us feel comfortable in every moment. The transportation from the hotel is perfect and convenient. I feel that in 3 days I became truly able to dive and I would always remember the amazing diving sessions in the wonderful Caribbean reef, plenty of corals and fishes.
