Onshore, powder-white sand gives way to a shallow, shifting shelf; beneath the surface the Caribbean current tugs playfully, inviting you to descend. Over three days at Maroma Beach, students move from confined-water practice to four open-water immersions that introduce reef walls, swim-throughs and a world of color where parrotfish rasp and sea turtles cruise.

Equalize early and often
Descend slowly and equalize your ears on the surface before each descent to avoid discomfort; don’t push past pain.

Although masks are supplied, a personally fitted mask prevents leaks and fogging during training.
Protect reefs with reef-safe sunscreen
Use mineral-based sunscreen and a rash guard to limit chemical runoff and sun exposure.
Hydrate and rest between dives
Surface intervals and hydration reduce fatigue and help with equalization and decompression safety.
