Get Certified to Dive Anywhere in the World
Our PADI Open Water Diver Course is the most popular entry-level scuba certification and your passport to underwater adventure. Over 3 exciting days, you’ll combine online learning, confined water training, and 4 open water dives in Punta Cana’s beautiful Caribbean waters. Once certified, you can dive independently with a buddy to 18 meters / 60 feet anywhere in the world.
Learn the Theory with PADI eLearning
The PADI eLearning platform makes your theory training easy and flexible. You can complete the knowledge portion online on your Apple or Android device before you even arrive in Punta Cana, freeing up more of your vacation time for actual diving.
Confined Water Skills Training
Your first day starts with a theory review alongside your instructor, followed by an introduction to scuba equipment. You’ll then move to a confined water environment for training in small groups, ensuring personalized attention and a comfortable learning experience.
Master the Skills You Need Underwater
You’ll practice using scuba gear, controlling your buoyancy, clearing your mask, and responding to common underwater situations in a confined water setting. We ensure you feel completely confident and comfortable before progressing to the open water portion of the course.
4 Open Water Dives in the Caribbean
The highlight of your training is four open water dives on stunning reefs and wrecks. Skills are spread out over all four dives so you can spend most of your time exploring Punta Cana’s marine life — from colorful tropical fish to majestic sea turtles.
Your Ticket to a Lifetime of Diving
The PADI Open Water Diver certification is recognized worldwide and never expires. Whether you’re planning future dive vacations, joining local dive clubs, or advancing to specialties like wreck diving or night diving, this course is your gateway to a lifetime of underwater exploration.
