DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE  PADI SCUBA DIVER COURSE

If you have little time in your stay in Ibiza (1 day and 1 morning) this is the diving course you are looking for, as it enables you to dive 12 mt deep as a certified diver in the 5 continents, rent equipment, and dive with the presence of a Divemaster or Assistant Instructor or an Instructor, as it does not enable you to dive on your own.

This course is eminently practical, with a mix of theory and practice.

The theory part is completed online with the e-learning

The theory is necessary to train as a scuba diver, as it enables you to learn the concepts with the help of our instructors that you will apply in practice during confined and open-water sessions, thereby helping you develop the activity safely.

The theory is the same as that of the Open Water course and has 5 very well-explained sections. In this course, you should only study up to section 3. At the end of each section, there is a review of knowledge with the answers to evaluate the evolution of your learning.

The learning of this course is comfortable and uses eminently practical language, where you will be taught what is necessary so you can dive safely, and your diving experience is fun and comfortable.
