Tour Summary
Have you always wanted to discover the endless marvels below the surface of the worlds oceans? If you are planning a vacation to the island paradise of Key West, Florida, why not take the opportunity to learn to scuba dive with our professional diving instructors? You could not pick a better place to begin an exciting lifelong hobby like scuba diving. The Florida Keys is a truly unique destination to enjoy scuba diving because of the expansive coral reefs in the area fed by the warm waters flowing up from the Equator in the Gulf Stream. This constant infusion of warm water elevates the water temperature in the area, creating idyllic conditions for live coral growth. The waters off the Keys are home to the lone living coral reef in the continental United States. You can witness a beautiful garden of hard corals, soft corals, and sponges. The Keys are also home to plenty of interesting coral heads as well. A dazzling variety of aquatic species, like sea turtles, mantas, lobsters, various crustaceans, assorted mollusks, and a plethora of prismatic fish, thrive in this region.
In only four days, you will be taught all the skills to safely scuba dive to a depth of sixty feet. The Open Water Certification Program consists of classroom instruction, confined water training in a pool, and four offshore dives guided by PADI-certified trainers. Often participants can complete their certification in only three days. We are dedicated to providing our clients with all of the necessary knowledge and vital skills to enjoy a lifetime of safe and fun scuba excursions.

I have been to the Bahamas many times, but Open Water Certification is one of my favorite trips! It includes everything that everyone should do here. As a Bahamas veteran, I can say only the best about this experience!
Thanks to the professional guides! I was a bit worried about kayaking because I had never done it before, but the instructions were great and I had such a good time!
The best way to discover nature! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
