TRAINING AT PORT PELEGRÍ
Choose the qualification that fits your plans
Scuba Diver is part of the Open Water pathway. It may suit a shorter holiday if you intend to continue diving with a professional after qualifying.
It does not qualify you to dive independently with only another certified buddy. You can later complete the remaining training through an Open Water upgrade.
