The best part about being a Certified Diver is that you have the
ultimate excuse to travel to warm exotic places!
|
It's as easy as 1-2-3:
- Start your certification with us, completing the classroom and pool right here at home.
- Plan your next vacation to someplace tropical: Hawaii, Belize, Australia... use your imagination!
- Do four warm water ocean dives to finish your certification.
|
Why not?:
Imagine standing on a white Belizean beach with the warm sand between your toes talking about the next dive you'll be doing. "Remember to keep a look out for sea turtles," your instructor might tell you. You slip into a thin wetsuit and then into the turquoise blue water for one of the many amazing dives you'll do on your trip. You aren't wasting any precious vacation time in the classroom or doing drills in the pool, you're a million miles away from work on island time. You'll come home with a tan, some great stories and your PADI Open Water Certification card, recognized by dive centers worldwide.

Costs:

Tropical ocean dives typically cost about 10-25% more in training fees depending on where you go, but are well worth it. Sign-up for any of our Open Water classes and complete just the classroom and pool parts. Anytime before, during or after the class your instructor can brainstorm with you on where you'd like to finish your certification.
