Complete PADI Certification Bundle | BlueWater

PADI Triple Certification Package

Getting your scuba certifications has never been more streamlined than with BlueWater Divers' comprehensive two-day program. This intensive course packs three major PADI certifications into one focused package — Open Water Diver, Advanced Open Water Diver, and Nitrox — giving you the credentials to dive confidently anywhere in the world. At $1199, you're looking at serious value compared to taking these courses separately, plus you'll have everything wrapped up in just two days instead of spreading it out over weeks or months.

Beneath the Surface

This isn't your typical weekend certification mill. BlueWater Divers runs a tight ship with certified PADI instructors who know how to get you comfortable underwater fast. The two-day format means you'll be diving with purpose from the first descent. Day one kicks off with a comprehensive briefing where you'll cover safety protocols, equipment checks, and dive planning. Then it's straight into the pool for skills practice before heading out for your first two open-water dives. Day two picks up where you left off, completing your final two certification dives while building on the advanced techniques you started learning the day before. The beauty of this accelerated program is that you're constantly building momentum instead of losing skills between sessions. Your instructor will be tracking your progress through each certification milestone, making sure you're not just checking boxes but actually developing real diving competence. The Nitrox component adds another layer of value — this specialty certification teaches you to dive with enriched air, extending your bottom times and reducing surface intervals on future dive trips.

Dive Brief & Gear Info

Everything you need is included, which eliminates the guesswork and extra costs that usually come with certification courses. Your rental gear package covers mask, fins, snorkel, wetsuit, BCD, regulator system, and tanks — all properly maintained and sized to fit. The instructors will walk you through proper gear setup and breakdown, which is crucial knowledge you'll use on every dive for the rest of your diving career. Before you even touch the water, you'll need to complete the online PADI eLearning modules, which are included in your course fee. These cover diving theory, safety procedures, and equipment knowledge at your own pace. You'll also need to fill out medical forms and complete a basic swim test — a 200-meter swim and 10-minute float that proves you're comfortable in the water. Don't stress about the swim test; it's more about water comfort than speed or technique. The open-water portion takes place at local dive sites chosen for their training-friendly conditions. Your instructor picks spots with good visibility, manageable currents, and interesting features that keep the learning process engaging. Snacks and water are provided between dives, keeping your energy up during what can be a physically demanding two days.

Marine Life You'll See

While this program focuses on certification skills rather than wildlife viewing, you'll still encounter the local marine residents that make each dive site special. Depending on where your open-water training takes place, expect to see schools of sergeant majors — those bold little yellow and black fish that seem curious about new divers and often approach close enough for great photo opportunities. These territorial damselfish are active year-round and provide excellent subjects for practicing your underwater photography skills as you get comfortable with your new certifications. Rock bass are another common sighting during training dives, typically found lurking around structure and reef formations. These stocky fish can grow up to a foot long and have a habit of staying put when divers approach, making them perfect for practicing your buoyancy control and approach techniques. They're most active during daylight hours, which works perfectly with the training schedule. Sea stars and various crab species scattered across the bottom give you plenty to observe during your safety stops and surface intervals. Your instructor will point out different species as you encounter them, though the primary focus stays on developing your diving skills rather than marine biology lessons.

Plan Your Next Dive

Walking away with three PADI certifications in two days sets you up for diving adventures anywhere on the planet. The Open Water certification gets you started, Advanced Open Water builds your confidence and skills, and Nitrox opens up longer bottom times and shorter surface intervals on future trips. This combination means you'll be welcomed at dive shops worldwide and qualified for most recreational diving opportunities without needing additional training. The $1199 investment pays for itself quickly when you consider the typical costs of taking these courses separately, plus you save time by knocking them out in one focused weekend. Keep in mind that deposits are non-refundable, though they remain valid for a full year if you need to reschedule. This policy reflects the serious commitment required for accelerated certification training — your instructor is dedicating two full days to your progress, and the class size is limited to ensure personalized attention. Once you've completed this program, you'll have the credentials and confidence to join dive trips, explore local sites independently, and start building the experience that makes diving truly rewarding. Book your spot with BlueWater Divers and get ready to join the global community of certified divers who understand what you're missing when you're stuck on the surface.
