Fun Facts & Info

As a Total Diver, you join an elite group of explorers, adventurers and conservationists. On top of being a PADI certified diver, you become a National Geographic Explorer!

The PADI Open Water Diver certification course is your first step... By experience, we know that if you stop there in your training, you will never enjoy the underwater world as much as if you complete the Total Diver program. Our rule of thumb is that you need 10 dives to be comfortable in the water.

Our Total Diver program gives you 11 dives and 3 certification cards:

The PADI Open Water Diver course gives you only 4 dives with an instructor and this certification level has some serious limits on the type of diving you can do. However, in your next Caribbean vacation, the divemaster might bring you beyond your training limits... So... We strongly suggest that you get ready for it!

Press "Play" to get a taste of it...

Our PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course certifies you to dive as deep as 100 feet and at night. Night dives are among the best dives you can do because you get to see all kind of living creatures that you never see during day time.

Our PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course also gives you more training in underwater navigation (so that you can find the boat at the end of the dive) and in buoyancy control (so that you can be more comfortable underwater and reduce your air consumption).

What is included in the Total Diver Program?

You get everything that is already included in the PADI Open Water Diver course, the National Geographic Explorer course and the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course.

The price of the package is the same as if you would buy the Open Water and the Advanced Open Water diver courses separately: 698$.

In other words, you get the National Geographic Explorer course totally free!

In addition, you get the following benefits that are not included in these courses when you purchase them à la carte:

  • Rental diving gear for your National Geographic course;
  • The National Geographic full color manual;
  • A National Geographic DVD with topics on aquatic life, buoyancy, exploration and navigation;
  • The full color manual for the Advanced Open Water Diver course;
  • An underwater slate for navigation;
  • A zippered diving log book;
  • A Total Diver hat and back-pack bag.

Furthermore, as a Total Diver, you are entitled to one free scuba review in the 12 months following your final certification. It is highly recommended to do a scuba review before going on a scuba diving holiday down South.

The insight and training you gain during this Total Diver program will broaden your awareness and take your diving skills to a new level.
