Contadora Island is part of the Pearl Island Archipelago which is a great place to learn how to dive in the Pacific Ocean. There is plenty to see in these waters that have great coral formations and lots of marine life.
The PADI dive course in Contadora Island includes three parts: Knowledge Development, Confined Water Dives, and Open Water Dives. Knowledge Development covers the principles, concepts and terms you need to know for dive safety and enjoyment. During the Confined Water Dives, you learn and practice scuba skills in a water with pool-like conditions. You’ll enjoy making one or more minidives, which take you through the same steps you follow when you make open water dives. To complete training you practice, apply and demonstrate what you learn during four Open Water Dives in Contadora.
Upon completion of your dive course in Contadora Island you will receive a PADI Open Water Diver certification that shows you met the course requirements.
