Scuba Certification Program Combines Training and Open Water Dives at Beautiful Arches
A structured scuba diving course is offering participants aged ten and above a complete pathway from beginner training to certification. The program is designed to build knowledge progressively through a combination of study materials, theory classes, and practical underwater experience.
Students begin by reviewing instructional content and attending classroom sessions that cover essential diving principles, safety procedures, and equipment use. This theoretical foundation is followed by controlled pool training, where participants practice core skills in a safe and supervised environment.
The course then advances to four open water dives, providing real-world experience in natural conditions. A final assessment is included to ensure participants have mastered the necessary skills and safety standards required for certified diving.
All open water sessions take place at the Beautiful Arches, located about 25 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta. Known for its clear waters and abundant marine life, the site offers encounters with eagle rays, sea turtles, seahorses, and vibrant tropical fish, making it an ideal natural setting for underwater learning and exploration.

Customer Reviews
I had an absolutely fantastic weekend doing my orientation dive (and fun dives) with Ocean Divers at Killary Fjord! From the moment I arrived every member of staff and all the other divers were incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was supportive and relaxed, making it easy to feel comfortable even if you’re just starting out like me (10 dives previously). There were a lot of divers, but each in small groups with their own dive master or dive instructor and grouped together in the OW/AOW courses or fun dives. While I had already done my OW elsewhere, I’ll definitely be doing the advanced course and further dives with these guys as the level of dedication and commitment that goes into making their students be successful divers is visible. Bring a bit of patience for the initial response period if you reach out during a very busy time - it‘s hard to respond when you’re always in the water 😄 but I honestly can’t recommend them enough if you’re looking to become a good diver and explore Irelands underwater world with a genuinely lovely group of people.
I’m doing the drysuit diver course with Oceandivers at the moment. I was having trouble getting my buoyancy right, so had six pool sessions to get it right at no extra charge!! What a crew Oceandivers have. There was no pressure, just take your time and get it right. Dan is always on hand to help you out and the rest of the lads are so helpful. I had my first sea dive for the buoyancy certification today off Dalkey island. It was fantastic!! The extra lessons really paid off. I cannot recommend the Oceandivers crew highly enough. It is and has been a pleasure working with Oceandivers to get my drysuit certification. Can’t wait to get back in the water with the crew!!
I got my OW course with Oceandivers in the previous two months and they are really professional and helpful. Especially, I would like to thank my instructor Alan, he is really amazing experience diver and nice advisor. Great enjoy my training with him and also thank other instructors, divemasters and staffs from Oceandivers.
