With the PADI Open Water Diver certification, a lifetime of SCUBA diving adventures will be available to you in virtually no time. You can become a confident, certified diver in as little as 2 ½ days, opening up a world of exploration. Your instructor will guide you step by step, making sure that you are comfortable, relaxed and enjoying yourself at all times. No previous experience required. And our warm, clear and calm waters make getting your open water scuba certification in Honduras an excellent idea!
The PADI Open Water Diver course includes three parts: Knowledge Development, Confined Water Dives, and Open Water Dives. Knowledge Development covers the principles, concepts and terms you need to know for dive safety and enjoyment. During the Confined Water Dives, you learn and practice scuba skills in the shallow waters of our bay. Then, to complete training you practice, you will apply and demonstrate what you’ve learned through four Open Water Dives alongside your instructor upon the beautiful Roatan reef.
