Frequently asked

What people ask before booking

For programs like Scuba Rangers, the ratio is one instructor to two students in depths over 1.50 meters, ensuring close supervision and safety.

Montevideo Diving School is the only school in Uruguay authorized by two major global certification agencies and is also the only school in South America approved by SCUBAMEDIC for student insurance, guaranteeing excellent safety standards.

Course prices typically include certification and the course itself. However, study materials are not included and may need to be purchased separately.

Open water check-out dives are conducted over a weekend and the specific location depends on the weather conditions, with potential sites including Punta del Este, Rocha, or Colonia.

For the Seal Team program, children must be at least 8 years old. For SASY (Supplied Air Snorkeling for Youth), the minimum age is 5 years old.
