Overview

Cabo San Lucas has the uniqueness of being right where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean, with an amazing rock formation by the very end of the second longest peninsula of the world, which provides and amazing spectacle in and out of the water!

The Open Water Course consists of three parts: theory, practice and ocean dives. After finishing the theory part with the eLearning, you friend will go through the review with one of our instructor and then learn how the equipment works and go to the pool to practice. Finally we will finish 4 open water dives in the ocean over 2 days to be able to get certified.

The eLearning can take 6-10 hours to finish and you can start any time to complete by answering all quizzes and exams before meeting your instructor. The practical part with us Dive Ninja's takes 2 full days, meeting the instructor at 8am going to the pool and after lunch go for 2 dives at 1pm.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    (8)

    Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

    A: Participants in the PADI Open Water Course in Cabo San Lucas cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive. The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024
