Description

Learn the basics of scuba from the pros

Start off your scuba journey with morning pick-up from your Vallarta resort. You’ll receive a welcome from dive masters certified by the prestigious Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) when you arrive to a PADI 5-Star Dive Center in Nuevo Vallarta. Your instructors will walk you through the basics in a classroom, before moving on to a pool and finally the open water. The amount of classes and dives you undertake depends on your certification goals.


Begin your journey toward PADI certification

Of course, if you’re looking to dive in the depths of the Pacific, like the pristine waters of Las Caletas, you’ll need to have full PADI certification. You can begin taking online courses to get acquainted with basic knowledge before visiting the dive center, eliminating classroom time needed for certification. For the full open water certification, you’ll need at least five pool dives and four immersions at local dive sites under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. And if you’re already certified, courses are available to continue your certification levels for deeper and bigger dives.
