Let’s Make It Clear.
12+Minimum Age for This Combined Course
No Licence?Start With Open Water, Then Progress
Can I Start Without a Diving Licence?
Yes. You start with Open Water training, so no previous scuba certification is needed. You must successfully complete the Open Water requirements before progressing to Advanced Open Water. Your instructor will guide that progression.
What Are the Age and Swimming Requirements?
The combined programme requires a minimum age of 12 because Advanced Open Water starts at that age. Open Water includes a 200-metre swim or 300-metre snorkel and a 10-minute float. Ages 12–14 receive junior certifications with a maximum AOW depth of 21 metres; from age 15 the AOW maximum is 30 metres. Applicable junior supervision rules apply.
Will I Receive Both Certifications?
You earn each PADI certification after meeting its knowledge and practical requirements. Open Water includes confined-water skills and four open-water dives. Advanced Open Water adds five Adventure Dives, including Deep and Underwater Navigation. Course completion depends on your progress and suitable conditions.
How Do I Reserve My Dates?
Choose your resort and room option, then add the package to your cart. Review your cart and continue to checkout to choose available arrival dates. Packages sharing a room use the same arrival date. Fill in the lead contact details and pay in full. Full-house and seasonal closure dates are unavailable.
Can Friends on Different Packages Share a Room?
Yes, compatible packages can share when they use the same resort, exact room type, number of nights and arrival date. Private rooms require their full occupancy: one guest for single, two for twin, three for triple and four for quad. Review your room arrangement at checkout.
What Should I Prepare Before Arrival?
Bring swimwear, a towel, personal toiletries and comfortable island clothing. Contact us about your course study preparation and complete the medical questionnaire before travelling. Arrange medical clearance if your questionnaire requires it.
