This is a theoretical and practical course, where you will learn to use the equipment, breathe under water and handle emergencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the theoretical phase, you will practice pool immersions and then you\u2019ll be ready to real dives in the ocean. At the end of this course you will be a certified diver, but take into account that you need to complete <strong>5 pool immersions and 4 ocean immersions, which will take at least 4 days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But this is not the only course you can take, if you are already an Open Water Diver PADI but you want to strengthen your diving skills you can take the <strong>Advanced Open Water Diver PADI<\/strong>. This course includes different kinds of immersions such as digital underwater photography, night diving and wreck diving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an additional course, you can also take the <strong>Oxygen Enriched Air NITROX <\/strong>course, which consists in 1 day of theory and 1 day of practice and will give you the possibility to dive in special places where the NITROX air is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need the Open Water Diver PADI certification to dive in all the locations mentioned before, and the Advanced Open Water Diver PADI to dive in Catalinas Island and Bat Islands. The NITROX course is recommended &#8211; but not a requirement &#8211; for diving in Bat Islands and Coco\u2019s Island.<\/p>\n\n\n<a id=\"season\"><\/a>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is the diving season in Costa Rica?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Great scuba diving packages can be enjoyed all year round thanks to the idyllic Costa Rica weather.
