Why NOW is a great time to become a PADI Instructor.
The world’s scuba diving destinations are busy with divers as many people emerged from the pandemic with a new lust for life. Not surprisingly, we want to experience more of what the world has to offer and want to spend more time in nature. At the same time we are also more aware of the impact our actions have on the planet and how we can make a difference with the choices we make.

Its variety of dive destinations means that Mexico is perfect for divers looking to expand their own diving skills and opportunities.
