Learn to scuba dive on vacation

So you`ve finally decided to take the plunge and start scuba diving and want to learn on your next vacation down south or somewhere tropical? It`s a great idea, and we can help!

Learning to scuba dive down south has never been easier. We work with you to complete all preparatory learning and practice before you leave plus get you fitted for your personal scuba gear (mask, fins and snorkel) that you`ll need for your trip. Then you just need to complete 4 dives while on vacation with a qualified PADI instructor, and you`ll be all set!

Our Learn to Dive on Vacation program includes the following:

• A personal copy of the PADI Open Water Diver course materials, including manual, logbook, and eRDPML, OR the PADI Open Water eLearning course online.
• Theory presentations, knowledge development and quizzes with one of our expert instructors.
• 5 pool dives with one of our expert instructors to learn and practice all of the required Open Water skills.
• Airfills and rental scuba equipment  for the pool dives. Excludes your personal scuba gear of mask, fins and snorkel, which you will supply. If you don`t have these items, which you will also need for your trip, our in-store equipment specialists can help you select the perfect fit.
• Referral paperwork accepted by any PADI dive centre worldwide to allow you complete your 4 certification dives anywhere you choose.

Price: $339.           Contact your destination PADI centre for their costs for the 4 certification dives.

Courses are conducted all year round so you can start now and be fully certified as a scuba diver on your winter vacation.
