Service Options:
We are happy to say that we can offer the following three (3) options to conduct your training:
- GROUP TRAINING
At the same price since our beginnings in 2000, the group form offers the opportunity to schedule class meetings for theory discussion, explore different sites and complete your training in approximately 6 months. Beginning with an orientation meeting, join your PADI Instructor to discuss the certification requirements and agree on specific dates with your group of six (6) or more participants. New trainings begin usually once a year once reaching said required quorum.
2. INDIVIDUAL TRAINING
This is the most flexible method of training giving our clients the control to determine specific day to begin your training; always considering the weather and staff availability. It is also a preferred mode because of the small group logistics allowing more one-on-one quality training with a maximum limit of 5 participants. The full required training usually takes between 3 to 6 months, but may be completed faster as could be agreed with your assigned PADI Instructor.
