This program covers the foundational knowledge and essential skills from the initial half of the PADI Open Water Diver curriculum. Participants will engage in theoretical learning, confined water skill development, and two supervised open water dives. The confined water sessions are conducted to build comfort and proficiency with basic scuba techniques, while the open water dives provide a real-world experience in the appealing waters of La Herradura. Upon successful completion, graduates are certified to dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional to a maximum depth of 12 meters.
