PADI Open Water Diver Course in Les Trois-Îlets for Beginners

About the Activity

What to Expect

Our PADI Open Water course in Les Trois-Îlets is your gateway to the underwater world, starting from the beautiful Anse à l'Âne beach in Martinique. This comprehensive program combines engaging theory lessons with 5 open-water dives, teaching essential skills like buoyancy control, dive planning, and underwater communication. With the guidance of a state-certified instructor, you’ll learn to dive safely and confidently to depths of up to 18 meters.

The practical dives take place along Martinique’s stunning southwest coast, where you’ll explore vibrant marine life and coral reefs in clear, warm waters. Sessions are conducted from either a spacious RIB boat or a smaller rigid-hull vessel, ensuring comfort and a personalized experience. With small group sizes (maximum 4 students per instructor), you’ll receive individual attention and progress at your own pace.

This course earns you the globally recognized PADI Open Water certification, allowing you to dive independently and unlock a lifetime of underwater adventures. Take the first step into the world of scuba diving and experience the thrill of exploring beneath the waves!
