Training in the swimming pool

Your instructor will explain and slowly demonstrate each and every skill for you and give you enough time to practice. We will also check if you are able to swim and feel comfortable in the water.

Training in open water

During your course you will participate in 4 open water training dives. The first dive does not include any formal skills and will help you to acclimatise to the new environment. During the 3 remaining dives you will apply the skills you have already mastered in the swimming pool to open water conditions, combined with a guided tour to explore Key Largo’s reefs. In addition to that you will learn about compass handling both at the surface and underwater. All of our open water dives are conducted on the dive boat.
