Scuba Diving Courses
Guanaja offers some of the healthiest coral reefs in the Caribbean. With little to no current, our calm blue waters provide an ideal training environment for scuba diving courses. Small class sizes or private training ensure you can learn at your own pace and never feel rushed.
Much of your training will take place on our large dive boats. In addition, taking a scuba diving course this way enables you to spend more time with your traveling companions.
Scuba Tuneup
If you’re feeling a bit rusty on your scuba skills, or a bit nervous about getting in the water again, it’s best to take a quick refresher. This class consists of a brief lecture going over basic Do’s and Don’ts followed by a short pool session practicing the most critical skills such as mask clearing and regulator retrieval. Our PADI instructors will get you in the water, having fun and feeling comfortable again so you can thoroughly enjoy your dive vacation.
Discover Scuba Diving
If you want to try scuba diving, but aren’t quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course, Discover Scuba Diving is for you. This course is a fantastic way for those with little or no experience to enter the wonderful world of scuba diving in the beautiful waters of Guanaja. The course consists of a brief knowledge review going over some basics and then practicing skills in the swimming pool. After lunch, you’re off on the afternoon boat for a 1-tank boat dive to a maximum depth of 40 ft under the supervision of your instructor. If you enjoyed the experience, you could take additional dives a second day for $125.00 for the 2-tank morning boat dive or $70.00 for the afternoon 1-tank boat dive. And guess what? You can even apply certain parts of the course toward your Open Water Diver Certification!
Open Water Completion/Referral Dives
This course is for students who have completed their class and pool training with their local dive shop before traveling to Guanaja. This course is a great way to get to know divers in your community before heading our way with your Student Referral Letter to complete your open water dives in our clear, warm water.
Enriched Air/Nitrox Certification
