Additional Information

Embark on an unmatched journey and explore the marvels of the underwater realm!

Taking this certification in Mexico offers immense advantages, given the wide variety of diving spots available. Get a chance to witness unique wildlife, distinct plant species, intriguing caves, and cenotes that are exclusive to Mexico.

Per National Geographic, over 70 percent of our planet is covered in water, and merely 2 to 5 percent of the oceans have been thoroughly researched. The oceans are home to a staggering 2.2 million species, and we have only discovered about 194,400 of them.

Our comprehensive 3-day course comprises theoretical learning and practical exposure with 4 dives either in the sea or in the cenotes.

Our seasoned instructor will ensure easy comprehension of theoretical aspects, imparting knowledge with a mix of humor and professionalism. You will be sent a digital course manual in advance to prepare ahead of your holiday.

Upon clearing the theoretical examination, you will officially become a certified diver!

Minimum age is 10 years
Diving within 24 hours of flying is not recommended. All participants will be required to complete a health questionnaire prior to diving. Some pre-existing medical conditions (eg asthma, heart conditions, etc) may prevent you from diving, please consult your doctor

Great person to learn from. - Andrii was awesome at teaching myself and my wife how to dive safely. He is a top notch dive master we would recommend. I normal don't issue any reviews so this is saying something.

So grateful for an amazing PADI certification experience - I have been wanting to do the PADI Open Water certification for years. After a few "club dives" with minimal training, I took the plunge this year in Playa Del Carmen with Andrey at Diversland. What an amazing experience! Andrey is the most patient, kind and credible instructor. We spent many hours practicing the skills necessary to be a comfortable and proficient diver. I not only feel great and safe underwater, but I made a friend I look forward to diving with again.

Best Experience EVER! - I will say that Olena was amazing! She was honest, up front and taught us what we needed to know. When we made a mistake she gently explained it so that the next dive we could correct it. She was safe and we never doubted her ability to keep us safe! This was probably the best 3 days we had on our vacation. I highly recommend Discover Scuba. Giving a 5 star review is not an easy thing for us. This was definitely a 5 experience. We saw stingrays, a sea horse, a really HUGE eel! So worth it. Olena was an excellent teacher. Thank you for your time, and effort in teaching us. DO IT people this is a great place to learn!

You could not expect better than this - I came with high expectations, and was absolutely blown away. Every part of the experience was amazing. You feel like you're being taken care of every step of the way, and you can just learn a new skill in an amazing place with incredible people. Andrey was so fun, and such a good instructor. You can tell he has a passion for what he does and he consistently went the extra mile to make sure we learned what we needed to, and that we had a blast while doing so. Eugenia was so sweet too. We had some unusual logistical constraints and she was super helpful and flexible to make everything work. 10/10 experience and people, I would recommend to anyone!

Safety, fun and with love. - The most important thing is that all instructors are great professionals. On land and under water, I felt safe. All dives were fun, easy, very helpful and I have a video from my dives. It's amazing! . I am very grateful to my instructor Dmitry for the care, support, safety, fun and for now I'm in love with the underwater world!

Unforgettable Experience- Newbie Divers - Julia is an absolute gem! Her love of diving and the underwater world shine through in her teaching and enthusiasm. She was very helpful in repeating theory and quizzing us along the way to ensure we were both learning. We both felt safe and comfortable the entire time and are confident we chose the right diving school to become PADI Open Water Diver certified. Thanks to both Julia and Serge (quiet but great sense of humor) of Diversland for an unforgettable first time diving experience!! We will be back for sure!
