Learn to dive in just one day! This course is perfect for the adventurer who wants to try scuba diving for the first time. It's also ideal for those who would like to go diving, yet don’t have the time for a full certification. The diving trip includes class instruction, pool session and an open water dive.
Why not take the opportunity to go scuba diving during your stay in Aruba? This specific scuba diving course is a great introduction to this popular water sport. Nothing compares to the weightless freedom of diving and with expert instructors on hand. No previous experience is necessary!
The boat is built with easy access to the dive platform featuring twin drop down ladders, a two tiered photo table for camera and video equipment, a restroom and fresh water showers for rinsing off.
The tour will include two hours of instruction in the pool. The theory session teaches students the basic rules for scuba diving such as dealing with pressure, breathing on scuba, and how to use the equipment. Then you will take a 1.5 hour boat trip where you will do a 1-tank open water dive of approximately 30-40 minutes. The dive boat goes to a shallow reef or wreck and an instructor will accompany you at all times underwater. Dives are in the 20-30' range. All instruction and necessary equipment is included.

This was an incredible experience! Yvett was a great instructor and really made sure we were all prepared in the training session prior to going into the ocean. I must warn you that the pressure under water is intense and as someone who gets motion sickness easily it was a little tough for me to stay under for the entire 45 minutes but you get to see incredible amounts of fish and the shipwreck is really cool as well!

We have been diving before but this is top rate. The instructor was thorough and very patient. The dive site was incredible. Overall an amazing experience!

We changed a resort dive course into the certification class. So I learned a lot and was able to become a full certified diver. The only problem we experienced was that they always ran late. The boats never left when scheduled!
