LEARN TO DIVE FOR FREE
Most people have always dreamed about learning to scuba dive, but could just never seem to find the time. We can't think of a more convenient or fun way to learn scuba and get your certification than with Nekton's Learn to Dive for FREE program.
You're about to experience the excitement and adventure of the underwater realm. As a scuba diver, you will come to know a new and exciting world full of diverse wildlife and beauty. By participating in Nekton's Learn to Dive for FREE program, you will soon become a PADI Open Water Diver.
The PADI course is divided into three segments:
(1) Academic Training
(2) Confined Water Training (pool)
(3) Open-Water Training
Academic training gives you the basic principles and knowledge you need for safe and enjoyable diving. Confined water training takes place in a pool and will teach you the basic skills of diving. Open water training allows you to practice and demonstrate your mastery of these skills in a typical open water diving situation.
Let Nekton arrange for you to begin your free certification at your participating local dive center. You can complete the (1) Academic and (2) Confined Water portions of the scuba course in your home town before arriving for your cruise, then with a referral from your dive center, complete the (3) Open Water Training portion onboard with us in clear warm tropical waters. After just four open water check out dives with a Nekton instructor, you will become a certified diver!
With 5 opportunities to dive almost every day, new divers can complete their check out dives in no time - and then are free to dive at every opportunity thereafter.
Nekton also offers and encourages all of the PADI advanced diving certifications. Many divers go on to get their PADI advanced open water certification and Nekton provides a great way to do this! To learn more, click here.
