Detail

Our PADI Scuba Diver certification program in Playa del Carmen is perfect for those looking to become certified divers but have limited time. With our program, you’ll receive personalized instruction from our experienced PADI instructors who will guide you through the basics of scuba diving. You’ll learn about equipment, dive planning, and underwater communication, giving you the skills and knowledge you need to start your scuba diving adventure.

During the program, you’ll complete three knowledge development modules, three confined water dives, and two open water dives. The confined water dives take place in a swimming pool or a shallow body of water, allowing you to practice the skills you’ll need for open water dives in a controlled environment. The open water dives will take you out to some of the most beautiful and exciting dive sites in Playa del Carmen, where you’ll get to explore the underwater world with your instructor.

By the end of the program, you’ll have earned your PADI Scuba Diver certification, which is recognized worldwide and allows you to dive under the supervision of a dive professional to a maximum depth of 12 meters/40 feet.

He made us feel very comfortable while I hadn't dived in 20yrs and it was my wife's first time. Great presence and a wonderful instructor.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just had the absolute best experience diving in playa del carmen and cozumel with AWA - felt supported and informed throughout the whole process with Bai and Mauricio - I completed my advanced course and a friend did his open water certificate. After 6 amazing dives, our group felt safe and supported and had loads of fun, explored loads of amazing areas and have some great videos of our dives! 100% recommend AWA if you’re looking for a great reputable company to dive with :)
