Overview

PADI eLearning lets you access the material for one year, plus gain unlimited access to an online version of the course manual. This takes away from the need for a classroom and can be completed where you feel most comfortable, either while on vacation or before leaving home. You can also complete it here starting the day before the course.

Once you complete your eLearning you will have 2 mornings of confined water practice. Then, after confined water practice in the morning, you will go to do your open water dives in the afternoon. Over the two days, you will experience dives in some world-class dive sites including MUSA. MUSA (Underwater Museum of Art) is in the waters surrounding Cancun and Isla Mujeres and has over 500 life-size sculptures used to promote coral life. Within 3 days you can have your PADI Open Water Diver Course completed and start your adventures in diving.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (9)

    Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

    A: Participants in the PADI Open Water Diver Course cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive. The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024
