    What To Expect

    Embark on an exciting journey into the underwater realm with our PADI Open Water course! This comprehensive program equips you with the fundamental skills needed for Scuba Diving. Delve into the captivating reefs of Curacao as you discover a world full with marine life.

    Before plunging into the depths, you'll complete the theoretical portion of the course through an easy-to-follow e-learning module sent via email. This allows you to prepare at your own pace before arriving in Curacao.

    Once on the island, the real adventure begins! We'll venture into the sea to practice essential skills in the shallow waters. Throughout the course, we'll continuously refine your techniques and buoyancy control. With a total of 5 dives, including the thrilling final dive to a maximum depth of 60 feet (18 meters), you'll have many opportunities to explore diverse underwater landscapes and encounter a variety of fish species. Keep your eyes peeled, as spotting turtles is a common highlight of our dives.

    Get ready to dive in and immerse yourself in the wonders of Curacao's underwater world!

    this course is possible to do in 2 days as well.

    Frequently Asked Questions (9)

    Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

    A: Participants in the PADI Open Water Course in 3 days cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive. The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024
