What to expect

The PADI course consists of three main phases:
Online Knowledge Development to understand the basic fundamentals of autonomous diving, we will give you a digital study material, you should watch some videos and then participate in a doubt class with the instructor. Normally this takes 1 to 2 full days, but if you buy the course with enough time you can receive your study material before traveling and so when you arrive you only need the pool and dives at sea:
Immersions in Confined Waters to learn basic diving skills; In the Caribbean hotel pool, we don't take you to the sea until you feel comfortable in the water in a controlled environment.
Open Water Dives on Baru Island to use your skills and explore! Two days of diving, 2 dives per day, 4 dives in the sea in total, from 7:00 am to 1:30 pm.
All the time a PADI dive instructor will be with you underwater so you can gain confidence and enjoy safely.
We see a great variety of fauna and flora, the water temperature is very comfortable, the visibility is excellent most of the year and we have more than 30 different sites on the island of Baru.
