1. Dive manuals and theory – online / offline sources: Your adventure of becoming a scuba diver usually starts with online or home preparation – studying valuable theory materials in the dive manual and watching scuba skills videos before the practice course.
2. Your first confined water dives: The basic scuba skills are practiced first in confined water: off a calm beach, or in a shallow cenote. There is nothing better than learning to scuba dive while on your Mexican-Caribbean holiday. Luckily Tulum offers excellent beginner divers conditions: cenotes, reefs, crystal clear sea water, so that you will not have to learn to dive in a boring pool.
3. Your first open water dives: Upon completing your confined water dives, you will proceed to open water dives – exploring the sea underwater world and fully admiring what Riviera Maya’s local environment has to offer.
Minimum age: the minimum age is 10 years old (usually children under age of 18 can register for online courses with a parent or guardian permission).
Maximum age:there is no maximum age, as long as you are in a good health condition and have medical statement.
Medical conditions statement:you sign a scuba medical form that confirms you’re fit to dive (PADI medical statement PDF). If you are not sure whether your medical condition allows you to enter a scuba diving course, please consult your physician.
All these should demonstrate that you are maintaining yourself comfortably in water. Your scuba instructor will ask you to demonstrate a minimum fitness level and basic swimming skills, such as:
Everyone that meets these criteria qualifies for Scuba diving certification.
Each scuba education organization provides its own materials adapted to the special certification program – DEF (Dive Explorers Foundation) have a Scuba Explorer manual online with 2.5 hours of video content. PADI have their Padi scuba diver manual. It’s best to have your set of learning materials with you (whether online or printed out), so that you can ask your instructor any questions related to it.
You will gradually become a confident underwater explorer. You will learn the basic principles of scuba diving first in theory in the manual and then practice them in water. Here is a list of the essential diving skills you’ll acquire:
Your instructor will help you master these essential scuba skills in confined waters, making sure you are comfortable and confident enough and then introduce you to open water diving.
Open water scuba diving course takes 3-4 days (theory and practice) It all depends on your availability for practice and how long your dive holiday is. An intensive course can be completed in 2 days. Preparing for the OW course by learning the theory online, will definitely save you time on site.
Riviera Maya offers the perfect conditions for beginner divers. Scuba diving becomes a unique adventure when you can learn to dive in the Mexican Caribbean – in the warm crystal clear sea water abundant in colourful reef and fish. Tulum, an ancient Mayan center there, is world famous for its splendid cenotes – sinkholes with sunbeams gently penetrating the surface, illuminating the amazing underwater world beneath. Your Open Water scuba diving training with Koox Diving would be set in Casa Cenote (for confined water dives), next in the Mexican Caribbean sea (open water dives). The scuba diving holiday -of a lifetime. What could be better than this?
All our Open water courses prices include the equipment rental so you should not worry about it. In case you want to practice more and have your first set of own diving scuba gear you can consider this underwater diving equipment list:
Just don’t stop here. There is so much more to explore: why not take Advanced open water courses, scuba instructor courses (DEF) and then Technical Diving?
