Details
Set out to conquer the underwater world with our PADI Open Water Diver course in Porto-Vecchio. Accessible from 10 years old, whether you have already done a trial dive or not, this 3 to 6 days diving course will train you to dive independently with an instructor in most of the diving sites of the world! In groups of 4 people, our state-certified instructor will show you how to use your equipment, breathe and move underwater.
This PADI diving course is divided into two parts: a theoretical part and a practical part. For the practice, we will make 6 dives in the sea. The dive sites are located in the Cerbicale Islands, which are characterised by rich fauna and flora. Indeed, you will be able to meet many colourful species such as groupers, starfish or cardinalfish.
The PADI Open Water qualifies you to:
- Dive to a maximum depth of 18 metres/60 feet
- Plan and execute dives with a certified buddy
- Rent or buy diving equipment worldwide
Programme
We will meet just after the main entrance of the campsite, on the right-hand side, at the designated bus stop 15 minutes before the activity begins. The minibus will pick you up at that location. There is free parking in front of the campsite. One of our instructors will welcome you and give you your diving equipment. Then we will take the boat to the dive area. Each dive lasts about 40 minutes. Depending on your wishes and the time that you have, you can choose to do one or two dives per day.
