Professional Association of Diving Instructors
Imagine floating along underwater currents amidst colorful tropical fish, practicing SCUBA rescue techniques, and exploring one of the most unique ecosystems on the planet. Mexico is renowned for its plethora of tropical reefs and incredible diving. Endangered by global warming and diminishing at an astonishing rate globally, coral reefs are an environmental education resource and a treasure to be preserved and protected. Come experience these precious tropical reefs with IWLS, develop your SCUBA skills, and learn about these amazing ecosystems.
PADI courses are experiential based dive programs. At the entry level they emphasize practical knowledge, safety and motor skills, as well as the foundations of diving; physics, physiology and chemistry. The Open Water Diver certification is your first step in the extensive PADI program, and your portal to an immense world under the water.
These courses are taught from our fully certified dive centers in the Sea of Cortez and the Caribbean.
PADI courses can be added to any Baja or Sian Kaan program.
