Scuba diving certification courses can be completed in as little as three days and certification can be used anywhere in the world. Nearly all the resorts offer a free pool orientation so you can get your wet feet before choosing to pay for an intensive introductory course.

Instruction and equipment are typically provided by the dive centers. In general, anyone who is over the age of 10, in good health, and comfortable in the water, can be certified according to international standards and procedures. Divers of all levels will enjoy stunningly beautiful coral reefs surrounding Isla Saona and Catalina Island or the sunken wrecks in La Caleta National Park.
