The course is led by veteran, bilingual dive instructors certified under Diver RAID international standards. Our team has years of experience leading marine conservation safaris, scientific research, and underwater rescues across the Mexican Pacific.

We combine strict global safety protocols with deep marine ecology knowledge—ensuring you feel completely safe, calm, and respected every step of the way.

No prior scuba experience is required. The RAID Open Water 20 program is built specifically for complete beginners. You only need basic swimming comfort and to feel relaxed in the water.

On Day 2, we take all the time you need in a controlled pool to build your breathing technique, buoyancy, and confidence before entering the ocean. Your peace of mind is our top priority.

Yes, 100%. Diver RAID is one of the fastest-growing global dive training agencies, fully compliant with ISO and RSTC (Recreational Scuba Training Council) international standards (equivalent to PADI or SSI).

Upon graduation, you receive an international digital certification card that allows you to rent gear, charter dive boats, and dive up to 20 meters (66 feet) deep anywhere in the world (Galapagos, Caribbean, Red Sea, Great Barrier Reef, etc.).

This is an exclusive VIP experience unique to our program. Before diving into the open ocean, you'll perform a supervised dive inside the massive habitat tank at the Great Mazatlán Aquarium.

You'll swim alongside sharks, rays, and hundreds of tropical fish in a clear, current-free environment—giving you unmatched confidence, peace of mind, and incredible photos before hitting the open sea.

Not a single cent extra. All professional, sanitized, top-tier scuba equipment is included in your tuition (wetsuit, regulator, BCD vest, tanks, mask, fins, and weights). All you need to bring is your swimsuit, towel, reef-friendly sunscreen, and a spirit of adventure. 

We do not run crowded, high-volume dive cattle-boats. We strictly enforce a maximum ratio of 8 divers per course to guarantee personalized mentorship, safety, and comfort. Small groups allow our instructors to cater directly to your pace and learning style.
