About

Our theory is to teach you to rely on your ability, not fancy equipment. We teach PADI, NAUI, and SSI, and can complete any Universal referral agencies. We let you choose which agency you'd prefer and we'll ship you the books. The class consists of 3 pool sessions, 2 boat trips, and 1 lecture and testing session. This can be squeezed into a tight 2.5 days, or spread over 6 half-day sessions. Our classes are booked around your vacation time, so most classes are almost private. This will further your learning experience and our ability to customize time for your needs.

You do need to have 18 hours between your last dive and your flight home, so please make sure you have time in your plans. The open water certification course is rated for ages 10+yrs. Open water certification has strict health guidelines for your safety.

Dive Agencies

Our philosophy of teaching is to hone your scuba ability and confidence as a safe, knowledgeable confident diver and buddy. We have no preference as to which agency you choose to represent, as we teach all 3 of them, (NAUI, PADI, SSI) We can accept referral students from any agency as both NAUI and SSI are part of the Universal Referal system. Choosing an agency is a personal choice. Our course is amalgamated to cover all skills from all of the agencies, which makes our student's training as thorough as possible. Although each agency has slightly different learning material, the core requirements of diving are the same.

Here are some of the qualities of each Worldwidely Accepted agencies.

NAUI - Regarded as one of the most thorough academic programs in the industry, Naui will come to you in the form of a traditional book, workbook, tables, and log book. This system is really great for all divers but especially for those wanting the reasons why you do everything.

SSI - Innovative, easy to initiate, Start TODAY with no additional fees. This all-digital system allows you to start your academics today and take them with you on multiple devices. SSI is perfect for all ages and covers the material well without oversimplifying the knowledge. You can preview this course online divessi.com. Once your review is complete you will need to choose Dive Isla Bella as your shop to proceed.

PADI - This system can be done online, (which has an additional fee) or per our recommendation, with a traditional learning system. There are 5 chapters in this book that need to have their corresponding " knowledge reviews" completed before completing your traditional lecture with us. PADI was the first to allow 10 yr olds to certify and in that process, has made the academic material a breeze to complete. Please, call before signing up for e-learning as this is a fee from PADI, not Dive Isla Bella's.
