Full description

This is an e-learning Touch course, meaning that you study at home using digital tablet materials instead of in location, perfect if you are pushed for time or want to maximise your free time once you've arrived.

The PADI eLearning touch material will be sent to you in advance for you to study in your own time. To maximise your time it should be completed on arrival.

The course consist of 3 parts:

1) Knowledge development: your dive center will provide you with all the material to start learning. This is a touch course, so all the learning materials will be sent to you to download digitally and work at your own speed away from the dive centre. You will learn all the theory necessary to be a competent and safe diver.

 2) Confined water dives: these are training sessions conducted in a pool or water with pool-like conditions, like a shallow protected bay. You’ll learn the basic skills of diving, progressing from simple to more difficult, as well as safety techniques and dealing with emergency situations. The confined water sessions are great fun, testing you and giving the opportunity to get familiar with the gear and techniques in a safe environment. 

3) Open water dives: This is what it’s all about – making your first true dives around the beautiful coast of Gozo! You will use the skills you learned in confined water in a realistic situation in the open water. It is not all skills work though! You will have plenty of time underwater to enjoy the beautiful underwater landscapes and marine life around the island in the four full open water dives.

A guia Mariana foi muito simpática e instrutiva. O tour passa pelos principais pontos relevantes do centro de San José. A comida servida no final do tour é o ponto alto. Poderiam cobrar um pouco menos para termos um melhor custo benefício aqui. Mesmo assim vale a pena, pois andar por conta própria no centro de San José pode ser perigoso.
