The Open Water Course is divided into three sections: theory, practice, and ocean dives.

Finally, we will complete 4 open water dives in the ocean over 2 days to achieve certification.

The eLearning component takes 6-10 hours to complete and can be started at any time. You must finish all quizzes and exams before meeting your instructor. The practical portion with us at Dive Ninja’s spans 2 full days, starting at 8am with pool practice and followed by 2 ocean dives at 1pm after lunch.

Most fun you can have in Cabo underwater ! - Best dive shop in Cabo! Ask for Joy or Fabian. They were both fantastic instructors. Everyone is very friendly and clearly passionate about teaching diving at all levels. They also teach you a lot about different ecosystems. Can’t recommend them enough!

Open Water Certification - Such a fun and wonderful team. Everyone who works for the company truly LOVES diving. What an experience for my open water. After training in a pool in Canada I was excited to do my open water dives in Cabo. Dive Ninja was an amazing choice. So focused on environmentalism and the ecology of the ocean. Thank you to Victoria my incredible instructor. She made me feel safe and calm right from the minute we met. And she guided me through all four of my dives and made sure I succeeded and enjoyed every minute of my time in and on the water. I would HIGHLY recommend!

The Real Deal in Responsible and Eco Tourism - Dive Ninja is a fantastic dive centre and tour operator! Their efforts to contribute positively to the community behind the scene of the busy tourist town of Cabo San Luca is enormous! They help local non for profits and are deeply involved in conservation efforts at many levels. Can't recommend them enough!

Certified Open Water Diver - I took my open water course with Dive Ninja. The first day was pretty rough for me (seasick, small panic attack) but the instructor was patient and supportive through it all. They were incredibly knowledgeable and the second day of the course went amazing. I would highly recommend them.

Awesome PADI instruction and dive operator in Cabo San Lucas - Our experience with Dive Ninja Expeditions was really excellent from beginning to end. I had been looking for an operator that was both recommended by PADI and with great reviews on TripAdvisor too, and this is how we found them. We booked through the WeTravel platform ahead of our trip and then exchanged emails to with Xochil at Dive Ninja Expeditions which made the process very simple, as she was super responsive and thoughtful. As a ready we were ready to get trained the day when we arrived in Cabo. The entire staff at Dive Ninja was both extremely friendly and professional. Victoria was our lead instructor and she demonstrated great commitment to our safety and instruction and made it easy to learn. With the assistance of Mercedes and Anika we we were in great hands so that when my son and I got certified we felt that we were ready. We then did a couple more dives with Dive Ninja and equally enjoyed our time. We would have done more dives with them, if only I had remembered to book those ahead of time (which sadly I did not, and the week between Christmas and New Year is very busy in Cabo). We will definitely use Dive Ninja Expeditions next time we are back in Cabo! PS: We also did a Whale Watching Tour with the same company and really enjoyed seeing so many humpback whales!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - I recommend with my eyes closed! We were lucky to come across a lovely French-speaking instructor who also had a teaching style that is rarely seen. The courses and dives were informative and fun while maintaining an emphasis on safety. And what's more, he doesn't only speak French, so really if you want to dive in Cabo San Lucas, go to ninjadive and ask for Fabien!

Fabien at Dive Ninjas gave me the courage to succeed in open water. - I am a 34 yr old female who was headed to Cabo to party, I had no intention of ever entering the water like that when I arrived in cabo. Fab is the greatest instructor in Cabo and turned my “party” vacation into a life changing experience that I traded partying for. I enrolled in the open water certification course solo and felt completely comfortable and safe. I most definitely trusted him and his team of instructors. When I walked by their booth at my hotel at Casa Dorada I instantly I felt safe talking to the Dive Ninjas about my bucket list goal of becoming a certified open water diver just as my Dad was. When I first meet the team I knew there was something special to experience and I knew that this was officially my time to learn to dive. I am honored to have been taught by Fab, and I look forward to diving with their team at Dive Ninjas again. Every time I return to Mexico I always contact them to get on their schedule for the duration of my trips. If I could give more stars I would, Fab and the Dive Ninjas are incredible people who helped open new doors for me as an official certified diver. Highly recommended, don’t go anywhere else.

PADI Open Water Certification - The PADI open water course we took with Dive Ninjas was exceptional. We were fortunate enough to have only two of us with one instructor. The entire team was great, and our instructor/guide Fabien was particularly amazing. The e-learning course has a lot of critical safety topics to go through, and the first time underwear in the ocean with the gear can be intimidating. However, Fab put us at ease with his great attitude, patience, communication, and his infectious passion for the sport. It was a great mix of getting through the required content, and experiencing the joy of diving. We also opted for two extra fun dives after having so much fun on the course. As long as you are prepared, all that’s needed on your side is to push through the initial fear and discomfort if you have it, and breathe! Fab and the Dive Ninja team will be there to keep you safe and help you discover the beauty below the surface.

Open Water Certification with Dive Ninjas & Fabien - I had an absolutely incredible experience with Dive Ninjas doing the PADI open water scuba diving course! Fab, our instructor, was absolutely outstanding. His expertise, patience, and enthusiasm made the learning process enjoyable and safe. He took the time to ensure we understood the theory and guided us through four breathtaking dives (plus two more dives after we were certified). Fab's professionalism and passion for diving were evident in every aspect of the course. The equipment provided was top-notch, and the dive sites were stunning. I felt confident and well-prepared thanks to Fab's thorough training. My friend and I left feeling like Fab was a friend rather than an instructor. I highly recommend this course to anyone seeking an unforgettable adventure. A big thank you to the entire Dive Ninja team, & Fab for being the best instructor!
