The PADI Open Water Diver is the world’s most popular scuba course and Mallorca is an excellent place to take it: clear water, good visibility and seabeds with Posidonia meadows, caves and Mediterranean marine life. Theory is done online before your trip, so on the island you focus on practice.
What you will do
- A confined-water session to master the core skills.
- Four open-water dives with an instructor.
- Safety, dive planning and equipment handling reviews.
- Certification processing when you complete the course.
Who it is for
For anyone aged 10 or over who can swim and is in good health; a standard medical questionnaire is completed before the course. No previous experience is needed. A great next step if you have already tried a discovery dive.
What to bring
- Swimwear, towel and warm clothes for afterwards.
- Prescription glasses or contact lenses if you use them.
- Your eLearning completion record if already done.
Best time to go
May to October, with the warmest water from July to October. Spring often has excellent visibility, though the water is cooler.
