Confined water skills are some of the basic skills we’ll teach you in shallow sheltered water so that you can get used to the equipment and start to have fun.
Open water dives are where you bring the theory and confined water skills together. You’ll complete 4 dives to a maximum depth of 18 m in the crystal warm Caribbean seas surrounded by exotic and exiting marine life.
The advanced open water diver is the next step after you’ve mastered the basics. Choose 3 adventure dives on top of your deep and navigation dives and you’ll be qualified to dive down to 30m and take your diving to the next level. Experience the magic of a night dive or discover how to explore a sunken ship for the first time.
