If the seabed has always attracted your attention and you would like to learn to dive, an Open Water diving course could be the perfect opportunity. What exactly does it consist of? This is the first level of scuba diving certification in which you will learn from scratch to dive in any sea in the world without the need of a diving instructor. There are many diving schools in Spain that offer this type of course, but why not take the opportunity to learn to dive in a biosphere reserve such as the Natural Park of the Strait of Gibraltar, in Tarifa?
In this Open Water course in Tarifa you will learn during 4 days the use of the diving equipment and the skills you need to dive up to 18 meters deep thanks to the experienced SSI instructors of Puerto Buceo in Cadiz. This course consists of a first theoretical part to be done at home using the SSI platform and three practical parts: diving exercises in the Olympic swimming pool of the PuertoBahía hotel in Cadiz, exercises in the sea simulating real diving situations and, finally, 4 open water dives in 2 days at 12 and 18 metres depth, the last ones in the Natural Park of Tarifa. We assure you that you will end up being a diving expert with an international SSI certificate and there will be no sea in the world that will resist you!
