Start your course with a detailed briefing and equipment introduction, followed by your first confined-water session in the pool or shallow lagoon.

You’ll learn breathing techniques, buoyancy basics, mask clearing, and all the key safety skills.

After a short break, you head out for your first ocean dive, exploring shallow reefs while building comfort underwater.

Your final day includes the last two ocean dives required for certification.

You’ll demonstrate all core skills, refine your buoyancy, and enjoy a fun dive on vibrant coral reefs.
