Overview

  • Full Open Water scuba certification - the entry-level credential for independent diving worldwide

A multi-day Open Water certification course - the standard entry credential that allows independent scuba diving anywhere in the world afterward, distinct from the one-off Discover Scuba trials elsewhere in this dataset.

Tripreviewall's Take

The right choice if you want to actually get certified during your trip, not just try diving once.

Good for
  • Travelers committed to becoming certified divers
  • Anyone with several vacation days free for a real course
Worth knowing
  • Requires several consecutive days including pool/confined water sessions plus open water dives - confirm the exact schedule before booking around other trip plans
