PADI Open Water Diver Course

Key Largo Dive Center has received 7 awards from Scuba Diving Magazine for quality, safety, and service in 2026. The staff is among the most experienced in the country with decades of scuba experience. We are a PADI 5-Star Dive Center. We are located at the Bayside Inn Key Largo Resort for your convenience. On the first day you will review the PADI e-Learning that you completed prior to attending. You will then proceed to the pool with your instructor for a morning of confined water training. In the afternoon you will begin your open water dive training. On the second day you will board our boat for the completion of your open water dive training. Unlike many other places offering scuba training, Key Largo Dive Center owns our large custom dive boat so we can control all of the dive training sites. Upon successful completion of your training you will be awarded the PADI Open Water Diver Certification allowing you to dive with a buddy and not need an instructor to accompany you.

Check-in and review of your included e-learning. Get fitted for gear and then proceed to the pool for the confined water portion of your training. This is followed by an afternoon of open water dives on the first day, and morning open water dives on the second day. Please don't plan other activities during your training dates.
