Get your Open Water certification through Reef Riders. The certification is for life, and can be completed in 3 days in the beautiful and clear water of Cozumel. We recommend doing the e-learning (this is the least expensive option as well). This is the first level of recreational scuba diving. Cost includes e-learning materials, instructor, equipment, and open water dives. The e-learning must be completed prior to starting the in-person instruction.
Time requirement: 3 days (4 hour sessions)
Certification can be completed in 2 days for someone really motivated and comfortable in the ocean, you are a good swimmer, and you can handle longer instructing sessions. You should really plan for 3 days. Completing the e-learning options beforehand is helpful. 5 confined water dives and 4 open water dives will be completed as part of your certification.

Getting your diver certification opens up a whole new world of vacation destinations and beautiful areas that are only seen by divers.
