If you’ve always wanted to get your scuba certification and go to Hawaii, it’s easy to combine the two experiences. Here are a few reasons to convince you to arrange for diving in paradise.

Why You Should Get Your Scuba Certification on Vacation

1. Get Certified in a Natural Ecosystem

If you choose to get certified in your hometown and you don’t live by an ocean conducive to diving, you’ll likely be directed to a reservoir or pool owned by the municipality. Unfortunately, this doesn’t do much to simulate the experience of a natural dive, which is likely why you wanted to get certified in the first place.

When you go on vacation to a tropical locale, you can enjoy the warm water, colorful marine life, and a rich ecosystem, all while gaining your credentials.

2. Still Enjoy Your Destination

Scuba certification doesn’t take place completely underwater—you’ll have to spend a considerable amount of time studying in a classroom before diving in. Some travelers are concerned that they’ll spend the majority of their vacation in an indoor setting, unable to enjoy the paradise they paid to visit.

Luckily, you can arrange to take the coursework in your hometown several weeks before your trip, so you only need to complete the diving tests while on vacation. You’ll only spend about two half-days doing “work”—you can enjoy the getaway for the rest of the time!

3. Make It an Unforgettable Trip

When you’ve gone on trips in the past, regardless of how much you enjoyed your time away, you likely only returned with small souvenirs like T-shirts, magnets, and some photographs. Unlike a normal vacation, this trip will result in something that lasts a lifetime—your PADI scuba certification. Plus, it makes for a much more exciting story to share with friends and family back home.
