Discover Scuba Diving!
Here you can find our scuba diving experiences and courses for first timers and beginner.
Discover Scuba Diving is an easy way to “try before you buy”. You can get a feel for what scuba diving is like, and do two dives in the ocean.
Then if you like it (we are sure you will), you can do the PADI Open Water Certification Course. Your fee for Discover Scuba Diving will be credited toward the Open Water course.
The second option for a more comprehensive experience and aiming to earn a globally recognized certification, we recommend our Open Water course. This course will take you through four thrilling dives where you’ll learn essential diving skills and explore beautiful reefs and marine life. Upon completion of the course, you’ll earn the PADI Open Water certification, which comes with numerous benefits, including the freedom to dive anywhere in the world and the opportunity to embark on unforgettable underwater adventures.

Lisa Jefferson2025-02-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most amazing experience diving for the first time! We did the 1 day certification with the pool instruction/ 2 open water dives. Tom our instructor was wonderful! Very knowledgeable, patient and just overall super fun- made the whole experience even better! Once you get into the open water all I can say is wow! This has truly been my favorite activity I have ever tried! I would highly recommend booking with AWA! Everyone I worked with was very kind and knowledgeable. We will definitely be continuing our diving education and journey and next time we are back we will definitely be using AWA again.

Our instructor Mauri explained everything clearly, and criticized in a very motivational way that made us want to become better divers with every single dive. Thank you! laura Umann2024-11-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir haben vor kurzem den Open Water Dive Kurs bei Mauricio gemacht. Wir hatten vier Tauchgänge im Meer und einen kürzeren zuvor im Pool. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Mauricio hat alles super erklärt und auf jede Frage einen Antwort. Tauchen macht einfach so unglaublich Spaß. Wir können die Tauchschule nur empfehlen. Jess2024-11-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did the open water course with Mauri. I was very nervous at first, but Mauri is a really great diving instructor. He explained everything very well and understandably, was patient, and I felt very safe underwater with him. The organization and planning is done with JP. It was super uncomplicated, he responded quickly and was always able to answer all of our questions. Honestly, I just can say positive things about the diving school and can only recommend doing a course or dives here. Simply great!!

It was my first time diving a cenote and doing cave diving and I could not have had a better guide than Mauricio! He made sure we were safe from the beginning until the end of the dives and went out of his way to make our diving experience memorable, giving great explanations along the way. He also spoke both English and Spanish which was much appreciated. Will hopefully dive again with him in the future!
