This covers the principles of scuba diving, pressure and depth awareness, equipment operation, safety procedures, and dive planning. Participants can complete the theory in person, at home using study materials, or online before arriving in Mallorca, making the course accessible to different schedules and travel plans. Following the academic section, practical training takes place in confined water conditions. These sessions are designed to help you become comfortable with your equipment while learning the core skills required for safe diving. Under instructor supervision, you'll practise breathing techniques, mask clearing, buoyancy control, emergency procedures, and underwater communication in a controlled environment. Completion of the final stage involves four open water dives conducted from a boat. The first two dives reach a maximum depth of 12 metres, while the final dives extend to 18 metres. Throughout these dives, you'll apply everything learned during the theory and pool sessions, gradually building confidence and independence. Once all requirements have been successfully completed, you'll receive your internationally recognised certification, allowing you to dive to 18 metres without an instructor. 📍 Location Situated on Mallorca's southwest coast, Santa Ponça provides excellent access to a variety of dive sites suitable for training and certification courses.
