4-day PADI Open Water Course

The PADI Open Water Diver course on San Cristobal Island takes place over 4 consecutive days:

Day 1

We'll meet at the dive centre on Calle Igancio Hernandez for an introductory theory class, focusing on the safety rules to be followed underwater.

Day 2

On the second day we will familiarize ourselves with the diving equipment. You'll learn to put on your wetsuit, flippers, goggles, snorkel, oxygen tank, and other necessary equipment.

You'll have your first practical diving lesson in the pool to apply what you learned in theory, along with additional theory lessons on diving techniques.

Day 3

We'll meet at the dive centre for two dives in confined water. This practice provides necessary knowledge for diving at sea. We will conclude with a final theory lesson.

Day 4

We'll prepare the equipment and head to the coast of San Cristóbal to conduct two open water dives, descending to 18 metres (59 feet). You'll take an exam to obtain your PADI Open Water Diver certificate.
