THE GREEN LION
💼 What the programme involves
The PADI open water course is for everybody who wishes to get their PADI open water license and discover the beautiful underwater world of El Nido. You will receive your official PADI certification one month after successfully completing the course. However, you will already be handed a temporary license to be able to continue with diving trips right away!
El Nido is one of the most beautiful and pristine places on the Island of Palawan in the Philippine Archipelago. Located on the North of this beautiful Island, El Nido is well known for its beautiful white sandy beaches, clear waters and rich biodiversity. This makes El Nido the ideal place to fulfil your PADI Open Water Diver Certification and enjoy everything that this laidback place has to offer.
The PADI open water course will take a total of 4 days from Monday to Thursday. Friday is reserved for a relaxing massage and enjoying your newly gained PADI Open Water Certificate!
