Your instructor guides you from the first briefing through to the moment you can dive with a buddy to 18 metres. This is a focused start to diving on the northwest coast of Mallorca. 📋 Key Details Duration: 3 days Theory: 5 online theory sessions Skills: 5 skill sessions Dives: 4 boat dives Certification: PADI Open Water Diver Location: Port de Sóller, Mallorca 🎯 Key Skills Working through PADI Open Water theory at your own pace Core scuba skills in supervised sessions Boat diving procedures from the harbour Buddy checks, descents and ascents Planning and completing dives to 18 metres with a buddy 🤿 What to Expect Online theory and skill sessions sit alongside four boat dives from Port de Sóller harbour, so buoyancy, air supply and dive planning are practised in real Mediterranean water rather than only on a screen. Your instructor stays close, corrects small habits early and keeps the pace calm enough that first-time divers can settle before the dives get deeper. By the end of the three days the practical work for the PADI Open Water Diver certification is complete, and a boat day on this coast will already feel familiar. Qualifying dives work toward 18 metres with a buddy, with a debrief after each entry so the next one has a clearer focus. 📍 Location Port de Sóller sits in a horseshoe harbour on Mallorca's northwest coast, with the Tramuntana mountains behind the town and open water beyond the breakwater. The meeting point is at Port de Sóller harbour, a short walk from the quays where the dive boat is prepared each morning. Boat dives from this harbour reach the rocky coastline and clearer water just outside the bay. The shelter of the port is obvious on the way out and back, then the wider Mediterranean takes over once the site is reached. Kit, briefings and the boat all sit within a few minutes of each other, which keeps a three-day course simple to run. ✅ Prerequisites No prior scuba experience is needed. This course is for people taking their first proper steps underwater, including travellers who have never worn a regulator before. Comfort in the sea helps, and we talk through how the water feels so we can plan the pace of the skill sessions for the group. The five online theory sessions form part of the course, so everyone arrives ready to connect the ideas with the practical work.

The course runs over three days and combines five online theory sessions, five skill sessions and four boat dives. Theory comes first so the ideas are fresh when the practical skills begin. The boat then leaves from Port de Sóller harbour. Each dive builds on the last until the in-water work for the PADI Open Water Diver certification is complete. ### What will I be able to do when I finish? Successful completion earns the PADI Open Water Diver certification. That qualifies a buddy pair to dive independently to 18 metres, following local site rules wherever the next trip goes. Your instructor signs off each skill and dive along the way. Once everything is complete, certification is issued through PADI and newly qualified divers can start logging dives as a buddy pair. ### Do I need any scuba experience? No. This is the course people take when they are ready to become certified divers and have not trained before. Your instructor starts from the basics and builds each skill in a logical order. Anyone already at home in the sea will find the early sessions familiar. Newer swimmers simply spend more time on comfort and control before the boat dives get more ambitious. ### How much of the course happens online? There are five online theory sessions. They run as part of the course so buoyancy, air management and dive planning make sense before the skill sessions and boat dives. Your instructor checks that the theory holds up in the water. Online work prepares the group so boat time can focus on doing, not lecturing. ### How many dives will I complete? Four boat dives take place during the three days, alongside five skill sessions. The dives are the open-water part of the course and leave from the harbour in Port de Sóller. Your instructor decides the order of skills and dives based on conditions and progress. The aim is four quality dives, not a race through a list in poor water. ### Where do we meet and how do the boat dives work? You'll meet us at Port de Sóller harbour. The dive boat leaves from the quay a short walk from the meeting point. The exact morning plan is confirmed before the first morning. Kit goes on with your instructor, the site briefing comes next and the group enters the water as a supervised team. After each dive the debrief happens on the boat before the next session or the trip back to the quay. ### What happens if the sea conditions are poor? Boat dives depend on weather and sea state. If conditions are not right for training, the water sessions are rearranged rather than pushed through in messy water. Theory and some skill work can still go ahead when the boat cannot run. Your instructor will say as early as possible if a day needs to shift. ### What should I bring with me? Pack swimwear, a towel, sunscreen and a change of clothes for after the dives. A hat is useful on the boat between sessions. Anything else needed is confirmed before the first morning. Jewellery and loose items that do not belong on deck are better left at the accommodation. ### When can I start the course? Start dates are offered daily at 10:00, subject to confirmation, then the course runs across three days. Travellers can usually fit the three days into a short stay on the coast. Theory, skills and the four boat dives sit together as one block. ### Is this the full Open Water certification? Yes. Theory, skill sessions and four boat dives required for the PADI Open Water Diver certification are all included. Your instructor signs off each part along the way. Once sign-off is complete, certified divers can dive with a buddy to 18 metres at sites that accept PADI credentials. Extra practice is arranged first if more time is needed before certification. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://media.adventuro.com/public/0ab94617-e665-489d-b045-47d031c83336/39563022-8bb8-4183-98e5-57b73ea4adc4/original.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
