PADI Specialties
Taking PADI specialty courses here in Bayahibe will allow you a wealth of diving skills to build upon as we offer many specialty courses – This will allow you to dive the wrecks, stay down longer with Nitrox enjoying the underworld, enjoy one of our wonderful night dives (maybe on a ship wreck) and much more – you get to see all of the wonderful sites but build on your skills at the same time.
The best way to learn a new skill or activitity is by doing it and the PADI Specialty Courses therefore emphasise learning by diving.
