Most training days start around 8:00 AM and finish in the early or mid-afternoon, leaving time to relax or explore Siquijor.
Exact finishing times vary depending on your progress and sea conditions.
Personalized Learning
No two students learn at exactly the same pace. If you’re ready, we may begin your first open water dive earlier. If you’d like more practice, we’ll simply take extra time before moving on.
