At Playa Sonrisa Dive, we take pride in providing a safe, professional and fun environment for you to enjoy your Basic Diver course. Our highly trained instructors will be with you every step of the way, making sure you get the best possible experience.
Upon arrival at our facilities, you will be greeted by our friendly instructors and will guide you through the registration process. Afterwards, we will start with the theoretical class, where you will learn the fundamentals of diving, including physical principles, breathing techniques and underwater safety. We will use teaching materials, how-to videos, and interactive sessions to help understand key concepts.
Once you've mastered basic confined water skills, you'll be ready to dive into the open water. You will do a dive in the impressive reefs of Xcalak, where you will have the opportunity to explore the rich marine life and marvel at the beautiful underwater landscapes. During these dives, you will be accompanied by one of our instructors, who will monitor your progress and provide additional guidance.
As you progress through the course, you will be given practical and theoretical assessment to make sure you have acquired the necessary skills. Upon completion of the course, you will receive the internationally recognized Basic Diver certification. This certification will allow you to dive to a depth of 12 meters and will open the doors to new underwater adventures around the world.
Now that you've acquired the fundamental skills, it's time to dive even deeper into the fascinating world of scuba diving.
We encourage you to continue doing more dives to gain experience and explore different areas of the reef. Each dive will allow you to discover new underwater wonders and will bring you closer to the beauty and diversity of the oceans.
Remember that scuba diving is an activity that requires constant practice to improve your skills and increase your confidence in the water. By diving in different areas of the reef, you will have the opportunity to face various challenges and learn to adapt to different conditions.
Also, continuing to dive will help prepare you for your next step: becoming an Open Water Diver certified. This certification will allow you to dive to a depth of 18 meters, which will open the doors to explore a greater number of underwater places.
Always remember to dive with a buddy and follow the safety measures established by your instructor and the diving organizations.
Enjoy every dive, admire the beauty of the ocean, and continue to learn and grow as a diver.
We wish you exciting and safe underwater adventures as you prepare to become an Open Water Diver!
