Scuba Dive Instruction

Getting Certified as a Scuba Diver

Jolene and I are certified Master Scuba Diver Trainers with PADI ( Professional Association of Diving Instructors}, the largest dive training organization in the world)
Becoming FULLY CERTIFIED is easy when you stay in our Villa. The class sessions take place right in your unit and the pool session in the pool to the rear.
The pool is exclusively for the use of villa guests.
For a complete and safe course the normal time is 4 days. Usually your class and pool sessions are completed in the first 2 days and the check out dives on the last 2 days. The clarity, calmness of the water and the privacy of our pool creates an atmosphere that is beneficial to learning new skills. The schedule is flexible according to weather.

Full Scuba Certification
***There are many other ways to get certified
This is the first level of scuba certification. PADI International certification card issued after successful completion of course. Usually your class and pool sessions are completed in the first 2 days and the 4 check out dives on the last 2 days. The schedule is flexible according to weather. The pool sessions are conducted in our own private pool ( pool takes 1 day).
PADI Referral Program
Another way to become certified is to use the PADI REFERRAL PROGRAM offered by PADI. This means that you take your classroom and pool sessions at a PADI dive shop near your home. Your PADI instructor will give you a Referral forms which you bring here. From there we take over and continue your training by taking you out on your 4 check-out dives. Many students come to us this way. Only 2 half days are required for the dives and the open water check out dives are conducted at the same locations that the certified divers go to.
PADI now also offers a SCUBA DIVER certification.
This is a 2 1/2 day course that involves 1 pool session ( 1/2 day) and the first half of the academic part of the course. There is no exam, but this limits you to diving to not more than 40 feet. This is great if you do not have the time for the complete course. This certification also allows you to complete the rest of the full certification course at a later date.
Where will your Open Water Dives Take Place
The first 2 dives are always done at sites that are located inside the reef such as Hol Chan Marine Reserve or Mexico Rocks to get you started. After that, weather permitting, we go outside the reef for dives that are a little deeper. You will always be under the supervision of an instructor.
