About this tour

This combo includes the Open Water Certification and two dives in Cenotes after the training

The Open Water Certification requires reading the course manual and completing knowledge reviews for each chapter, passing the final test, performance of confined water skills 1-5, and four open water dives. Here is more information about every step:

Complete the theory lessons: As part of the certification is necessary to read a book or complete the e-learning. This will cover diving theory, safety procedures, and equipment use. There will also be a theoretical class on the first day where we will teach you how to assemble and disassemble the SCUBA unit.
Practice in a shallow water area: You’ll complete confined water training in a pool or in a shallow water area to learn basic skills under the supervision of an instructor.
Open water dives: After mastering pool skills, you’ll conduct a series of open water dives (four) in a supervised environment to apply what you’ve learned.
Pass the exams: Successfully complete the final exam and quizzes required.
Receive Your Certification: Once you’ve completed all components and passed the required evaluations, you’ll receive your open water certification.

Once your certification is processed you will be ready to explore two different Cenotes.

The Cenotes chosen will depend on the maximum depth and how confortable you are in the water.

Diver Level:

None.

Maximum depth:

60 ft/ 18 meters.
