PADI Open Water Course

Price: $280
Duration: 3 - 5 days

Now is the time to dive into the PADI Open Water Diver course, the most popular scuba program in the world! This is your ticket to a lifetime of intense adventure with PADI, the dive association that sets the standards in the global diving community. Why not learn to dive in Roatan at Tyll’s?

You will earn the PADI Open Water Diver certification that is recognized worldwide. You earn this license by completing 5 confined water sessions in the fabulous Half Moon Bay, 5 knowledge development sessions, and by making 4 dives at some of the best Roatan diving sites.

However, we also prefer to ensure that Day 1 is a fun day out with no books. Instead, your instructor will take you for 1 fun dive and, going at your own pace, you can decide if you enjoy it. A small minority of students don't take to diving, so if you are one of those people you can quit then having paid for just 1 day. Otherwise you will go on to complete the course over Days 2 and 3 and become a certified diver!

Throughout the course, you'll learn the fundamentals of scuba diving, including dive equipment and techniques. Virtually anyone who's in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can earn the Open Water Diver certification. At some point during your Roatan diving course, your PADI Instructor will ask you to demonstrate the ability to swim 200 meters.

The PADI Open Water Diver license is a permanent scuba qualification, and as a certified diver you have the freedom to dive with a buddy independent of a professional. However, if you do not dive for over 12 months and you are a relatively an inexperienced diver, then we recommend you complete a refresher program, such as the PADI Scuba Review. This can take as little as one hour of your time in Half Moon Bay and gives you the chance to refresh those skills you may have forgotten or are a little rusty on. That way, when you do dive again you can relax and enjoy your dives, and be sure that you won't have any nasty surprises in store.

If you already tried a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience or are Scuba Diver certified, you may get credit from these courses to the PADI Open Water program. Your underwater adventure can begin as soon as today with the new PADI Open Water Diver Video! You can view this at your own pace in your hotel and then meet with one of our instructors for further assistance. Learning options for scuba diving in Roatan also include group or private instruction. Drop by Tyll’s Dive Shop before your training course starts so that you can collect your study manual and give yourself a jump start.

So what are you waiting for? Your only regret is likely to be that you didn't learn to scuba dive in Roatan even earlier!
