Your Itinerary:

Day 1: The PADI dive certification starts with an orientation - your instructor will run you through what will be involved in the open water course, explaining the schedule.

Then we'll get stuck into some scuba diving theory. We'll watch some videos and review a few questions to make sure you understand. Content on this first day includes safe diving practices, scuba diving equipment, effects of pressure, the buddy system and more.

Day 2: The PADI open water course continues with a shallow, confined water skills session. Most likely, for this first underwater session we'll be out on the boat heading to one of the islands beautiful bays.

We'll start in very shallow water gradually getting deeper (no more than three meters). Your instructor will demonstrate skills which you will practice back, designed to get you comfortable using scuba gear. This will include equipment assembly and donning, getting used to breathing underwater, clearing your mask and regulator, getting used to diving with a buddy and learning to control your buoyancy.

This session normally lasts around two to three hours, normally taking place during the morning, leaving you free for an afternoon relaxing on the Beach or exploring the coast!

Day 3: This is your only full day starting in the morning with open water dives 1 + 2 out on the boat. We will visit two different open water sites and dive to a maximum depth of 12 meters. During the dive we will be doing similar skills as the day before but in deeper water and trying to master the art of buoyancy. As part of these dives you'll get to explore the dive sites, checking out the amazing marine life. Expect to see lots of bright corals, tropical fish, moray eels, sting rays and maybe even a hawksbill turtle.

After your lunch break we will meet you back in the classroom at around 1pm for the last two modules of PADI dive certification theory and the final exam! But don't worry - the PADI Open Water course is designed for ages of 10 years old and upwards, so you shouldn't find the final exam too tricky!!

This session will take around two to two and a half hours.

Day 4: The final two dives of your PADI open water course will normally take place in the afternoon.

We'll get right down to 18 metres, and on these two dives you will have the chance to star in your very own movie. We have our own photographers diving and will have the chance to check out you pictures whilst we fill out the certification paperwork over a cold beer!

Day 5: Free Day- you are free to do some shopping or sightseeing and relax

Day 6/7: Optional for you to join us for some rock climbing and canyoning! Both are included in the price and awesome fun! Scaling the giant Limestone walls by the med or perhaps abseiling down huge waterfalls and sliding down rock chutes into deep pools?
