Open Water

Begin your underwater exploration with the Open Water Diver certification from Tagoro Dive, a globally recognized qualification allowing dives up to 18 meters. This course is designed for beginners, with theory completed online at your own pace before arriving at the center. Upon arrival, you will learn essential skills such as assembling and checking diving equipment. Practical training starts from the beach to build confidence before progressing to boat dives.

The practical portion of the course includes a total of 6 dives: 4 conducted from the beach and 2 from a boat. These dives take place within the Mar de las Calmas, a spectacular marine reserve in El Hierro, renowned for its abundant marine life and clear waters. The average sea temperature hovers around 20.7°C, making it comfortable for diving throughout much of the year. While specific visibility figures are not provided, the designation as a marine reserve suggests a healthy and vibrant underwater ecosystem.

Tagoro Dive offers this certification in conjunction with PADI and SSI, two of the world's leading training agencies. The course is typically completed over 3 days, with daily sessions running from approximately 8:15 AM to 2:00 PM. All necessary diving equipment and insurance are included in the course fee of 450 EUR. A unique memento offered by Tagoro Dive is a personalized, edited video capturing the highlights of your diving experience.

To enroll in the Open Water Diver course, participants must be at least 10 years old and possess basic swimming abilities. The structured progression from beach to boat dives ensures a solid foundation in scuba diving techniques. This certification is the fundamental first step for anyone aspiring to explore the underwater world further and pursue advanced diving certifications.
