Activity description

After 6 dives in the Caribbean Sea, you will receive your PADI Open Water Diver certification and will be able to dive not only in Martinique, but also in the seas and oceans of the world!

Once you have obtained your first dive, your underwater adventure can continue by taking the FFESSM / CMAS Level 1 or the PADI Open Water Diver in Les Anses-d'Arlet, Martinique.

Alpha Plongée Martinique delivers French diplomas from FFESSM / CMAS (Fédération Française d'Etudes et de Sports Sous-Marins and Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques), as well as American diplomas from PADI. These diplomas will allow you to dive all over the world.

The training consists of 6 dives of about 40 minutes each, which can be spread over 3, 6 or 10 days. Always accompanied by your instructor, you will have the best chance of encountering lobsters at a depth of 20 meters. After some knowledge of the equipment, a mastered safety, and a good understanding of your partner, you become a diver!

The center provides you with all the necessary equipment for the training: wetsuits, fins, masks, snorkels, tanks, weights, jackets, regulators and computers. The equipment is regularly maintained and replaced. You will also find storage space, as well as showers and toilets for your comfort.

The Caribbean Sea has clear water all year round, ranging from 26°C to 30°C. The reefs of Grande Anse d'Arlet Bay are very rich and colourful, with an abundance of coral and sponge fauna, as well as marine animals that have a very simple underwater lifestyle. It is therefore a privileged place to spend your diving training!

Offer Description

The course includes 6 dives that can be done over 3 days (2 dives a day), 6 days (1 dive a day) or even over 10 days (1 dive every 2 days). At the end, you will receive the Open Water Diver PADI certification.
