Discover Scuba Diving
People who have never experienced diving can try it out with Sealife Divers'
Discover Scuba Course. This half day course consists of three parts. First, we
conduct a short lecture on the beach, discussing equipment and how to dive
safely. Second, we build your confidence through a practice session in shallow
water. Finally, we take our new divers on our boat to explore the amazing corals
and fish of the Caribbean.
Discover Diving students are always accompanied by a certified
instructor who will remain close by at all times. Try diving under the safety
conscious eyes of our PADI or SSI certified dive instructors. Our guides are
patient and have the qualities you need to ensure that your first diving
experience is both safe, relaxed and fun. And, if you want to get your scuba
diving certification, Sealife Divers is happy to train you.
Discover Scuba Diving course includes:
- boat transportation to and from dive site

Open Water Diver Certification
Learn to dive! This course gives you the skills and certification card you
need to dive in any ocean in the world. Sealife Divers' instructors love to
teach new divers how to enjoy diving, and how to be a safe and confident diver.
We don't rush you, but take each new skill at your pace so you can learn how to
dive without stress or pressure.
This course includes four open water dives, academic lessons, and confined
water training. For the third dive we visit a special site where we have the
opportunity to dive with huge sea turtles.
Referral Open Water Diver Certification
Do your class room work and pool sessions at home, but dive with us in the
beautiful Mexican Caribbean. Bring the proper proof from your local dive shop,
and our certified PADI or SSI Instructors will take you for your final
qualifying dives.

Scuba Diving Course
Thinking of getting certified for an upcoming vacation, but don't have the
time to put into a regular diver course? Now there's a quick and easy program
designed especially for you! This is your chance to slap on some fins, strap on
a mask and experience an intense adventure in a short amount of time.
Why PADI Scuba Diver?
The PADI Scuba Diver program is a pre-entry level certification that is perfect
for vacationers or people who only plan to dive a couple times a year.
As a subprogram of the PADI Open Water Diver program, the PADI Scuba Diver
rating allows you to get certified quickly and easily by minimizing time
constraints. With the PADI Scuba Diver certification you can dive under the
direct supervision of a PADI Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, Instructor or
higher professional on your next vacation or dive trip
What do I need to start?
Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the
water can earn a Scuba Diver certification. If you are between 10 and 14 or have
a child between these ages, there is a PADI Junior Scuba Diver program
available.
What will I do?
Throughout the course, you’ll learn fundamentals of scuba diving, including dive
equipment and techniques. You earn this rating by completing pool dives,
knowledge development sessions and by making two open water (ocean or lake)
dives.
How long will it take?
PADI programs are performance based. You proceed as you demonstrate mastery of
the course skills. This allows you to work at a pace that is comfortable for you
Open Water Diver Certification Refresher
Certified divers may want to take a refresher course to relearn diving skills
or rebuild their diving confidence. If you haven't been on a dive for over one
year, or if you have had a bad experience diving in the past, take a refresher
course with Sealife Divers. Our friendly, patient, qualified instructors will
help you love diving again.
It consists of a scuba diving review on land, plus a review of key skills in
shallow water. Then a shallow dive is made to approximately 40 feet (12 meters).
The option of doing two more dives with your instructor after the scuba review
is available.
