What to expect
You'll spend three days combining classroom learning with practical underwater sessions. Your instructor will cover essential safety protocols, equipment handling, and dive theory before taking you into the water for supervised dives. Each day builds on the previous one, progressing from shallow familiarisation dives to deeper open water work. Expect a mix of pool or confined water practice and reef dives depending on conditions. You'll be in small groups, so the pace adjusts to your confidence level. By day three, you'll complete the certification requirements and be cleared to dive independently at recreational depths worldwide.
