Earn your full diving licence in one of the world's dream destinations, south-ari-atoll, home to year-round whale sharks and manta rays. The PADI Open Water Diver course certifies you to dive to 18m independently with a buddy on the atoll's warm reefs.
PADI Open Water Diver uses PADI eLearning, includes Project AWARE conservation, and issues a globally recognised PADI card valid for diving to 18m.
Training takes place on South Ari's calm house reefs and gentle reef flats from 5m down to 18m, where warm water and clear visibility are well suited to new divers. Certified divers from here regularly join trips to the Maamigili whale-shark protected area and manta cleaning stations.
