Overview
PADI Scuba Diver Certification in Cancun
If you’re eager to begin your underwater adventures but not quite ready to commit to the full PADI Open Water Diver course, the PADI Scuba Diver certification is the perfect choice. It equips you with the core diving skills and knowledge you need to explore shallow waters under the supervision of a PADI Professional, making it an excellent stepping stone toward becoming a fully certified diver.
Course Structure
- Knowledge Development (Academic Session)
You’ll learn the basic principles of scuba diving—such as dive safety, equipment usage, and underwater communication—through engaging study materials and guided instruction. - Confined Water Dives (Pool Training)
Next, you’ll head to a pool or a similar controlled environment where you’ll practice essential scuba techniques, from assembling your gear to managing buoyancy. This hands-on training helps you build confidence before moving on to open water. - Open Water Dives
Finally, you’ll take what you’ve learned into the ocean. Under the direct supervision of your PADI Instructor, you’ll complete two open water dives where you’ll apply your newfound skills while experiencing the beauty of Cancun’s underwater world.
Worldwide Recognition
Upon successfully completing your training dives, you’ll receive your PADI Scuba Diver certification, recognized worldwide. This means you can continue your education toward the PADI Open Water Diver certification—or simply enjoy guided dives at a maximum recommended depth of 12 meters (40 feet) with a PADI Professional.
Not Sure if Scuba is Right for You?
If you’re new to diving and curious about exploring the underwater world, our Discover Scuba Diving experience is a great place to start. This one-day introduction offers a taste of scuba diving without committing to a full certification.
However, if you’re ready to take the plunge and unlock the full potential of your diving adventures, we highly recommend going straight for the PADI Open Water Diver course. It provides comprehensive training, greater depth limits, and a globally recognized certification—giving you the freedom to dive independently and explore even more of the ocean’s wonders! Why settle for a sample when you can have the full experience?
IMPORTANT TO KNOW
Anyone with asthma, heart or brain conditions, high blood pressure, lung lesions, diabetes, epilepsy, or a history of surgery within the past year must provide a medical clearance signed by a physician specializing in their condition.
Please remember that you should wait 18–24 hours after diving before flying.

What Our Divers Say
★★★★★

Carie Boulanger
“Frank and his crew are the best. He truly does care for your safety and not just trying making a buck. He was the best dive master. He went over in detail everything about your equipment and dives. A good review over that stuff never hurts. He even took great photos and gave them to us at no extra cost. We will definitely be using them again when we visit the area next. I get motion sickness easily so I wear a prescription patch for it. He also had dramamine in case I needed it. Being that the waters were a little rough , I decided to take one. Thankful I did because I didn’t get sick while others who never get sick were puking after the dives.“

Federico Manrupe
“El servicio fue excelente!! Hice dos inmersiones con Francisco, en Punta Negra y San Miguel. Estuvieron muy bien las dos. Francisco de 10, siempre atento a cuestiones de seguridad, muy profesional, atento también a la fauna. En cuanto a este último punto, fue excelente, se pudo ver tiburón gato, tortuga, langostas, morena, pez piedra, pez globo, etc. Los recomiendo sin lugar a dudas.“
