PADI Open Water Diver Course in Playa del Carmen

How the Course Works
With Scuba Libre, Open Water e-learning is included directly, and the digital materials are the e-learning. It is strongly recommended to complete the e-learning before arriving in Playa del Carmen.
After e-learning, plan two practical training days with Scuba Libre. If your schedule allows, keep a third extra day open in case of weather, delays or if the student is not feeling well.
