PADI Open Water Diver Certification (5 nights/4 days)
PADI Open Water Diver Certification (5 nights/4 days)

Secure your PADI Open Water Diver certification and unlock a world of thrilling underwater adventures!

PADI Open Water Diver Certification (5 nights/4 days)

PADI Open Water Diver Certification (5 nights/4 days)
Seize the opportunity to earn your PADI Open Water Diver certification either prior to joining or upon completing the IVHQ Peru - Cusco Program.

The PADI certification program takes place over 5 days and 4 nights (Monday to Friday). This program immerses you in the vibrant coastal settings of Lima and Pucusana, offering a blend of theoretical learning and hands-on diving experiences under the guidance of a certified instructor.   

You can expect to spend 4 - 5 hours each day on the water and/or boat alongside your instructor. With all diving equipment provided, this journey promises an unforgettable aquatic adventure.

A typical schedule is as follows:

Day 1: Travel to Lima
Travel Lima is at your own expense - the team will provide a pickup and transfer to the accommodation upon arrival.  

Day 2: Theory and Abilities
Begin your introduction to Scuba with the first few chapters of your manual and multimedia. Learn about how pressure affects the body, choosing the right gear, dive planning, and safety.

Day 3: Pool Session
Once the materials are covered, you have your first confined session in a swimming pool for 3 - 4 hours, building comfort with your equipment and practicing hand signals and safety exercises.

Day 4: Ocean Dives
This first ocean session gets you comfortable with the gear in an open water environment. Journey to the depths twice this day, depending on the tides.

Day 5: Final Dives and Exam
Put your new skills into practice! Today you complete your final two required dives alongside your instructor. You then write your final exam back in the classroom, and once you have passed you are officially a Certified PADI Open Water Diver!

If you would like to spend Friday night in Lima before departing (which we recommend if you've been diving that day), the local team can help you to arrange an extra night of accommodation as Friday night is not included in this tour fee.

*Please note, this activity is based in Lima so you must arrange your own flights from Cusco to Lima. You will also need to provide your own bathing suit and towel for this activity.

PADI Open Water Diver Certification (5 nights/4 days)
PADI Open Water Diver Certification (5 nights/4 days)

Secure your PADI Open Water Diver certification and unlock a world of thrilling underwater adventures!

$937

PADI Open Water Diver Certification (5 nights/4 days)

PADI Open Water Diver Certification (5 nights/4 days)
Seize the opportunity to earn your PADI Open Water Diver certification either prior to joining or upon completing the IVHQ Peru - Cusco Program.

The PADI certification program takes place over 5 days and 4 nights (Monday to Friday). This program immerses you in the vibrant coastal settings of Lima and Pucusana, offering a blend of theoretical learning and hands-on diving experiences under the guidance of a certified instructor.   

You can expect to spend 4 - 5 hours each day on the water and/or boat alongside your instructor. With all diving equipment provided, this journey promises an unforgettable aquatic adventure.

A typical schedule is as follows:

Day 1: Travel to Lima
Travel Lima is at your own expense - the team will provide a pickup and transfer to the accommodation upon arrival.  

Day 2: Theory and Abilities
Begin your introduction to Scuba with the first few chapters of your manual and multimedia. Learn about how pressure affects the body, choosing the right gear, dive planning, and safety.

Day 3: Pool Session
Once the materials are covered, you have your first confined session in a swimming pool for 3 - 4 hours, building comfort with your equipment and practicing hand signals and safety exercises.

Day 4: Ocean Dives
This first ocean session gets you comfortable with the gear in an open water environment. Journey to the depths twice this day, depending on the tides.

Day 5: Final Dives and Exam
Put your new skills into practice! Today you complete your final two required dives alongside your instructor. You then write your final exam back in the classroom, and once you have passed you are officially a Certified PADI Open Water Diver!

If you would like to spend Friday night in Lima before departing (which we recommend if you've been diving that day), the local team can help you to arrange an extra night of accommodation as Friday night is not included in this tour fee.

*Please note, this activity is based in Lima so you must arrange your own flights from Cusco to Lima. You will also need to provide your own bathing suit and towel for this activity.
