What People Say

I wanted to let you know that my course materials arrived today. I must say those are some of the nicest course materials I have ever seen. In 2 years of college and throughout all my PADI training I haven't seen materials that well put together, organzied with such great images and descriptions. Thanks!

Club Med Columbus Isle is a Beautiful Oceans Destination with seventeen GPS-mapped coral reefs. Fifteen dive sites and two snorkel sites are waiting to be explored with the help of our 3D coral reef maps. Certified Science Instructors are on hand to provide state-of-the art coral reef dive briefings and underwater guided tours based on Beautiful Oceans Creature Discovery Kits.


From the Club Med website: “San Salvador offers a wealth of attraction to divers of all abilities and experience. Since the 1970's, divers have returned to the islands waters for the healthy coral and animal life, stunning visibility- typically 80 to 150 feet and warm waters because of the dramatic walls that surround San Salvador. 32 moored dive sites along the protected lee side of the island offer safe and convenient diving for even the most demanding diver.

The Beautiful Oceans Coral Reef Adventure Dive and Snorkel program provides a unique experience for scuba divers, snorkelers and the entire family to enjoy the essence and beauty of the mysterious coral reef. Beautiful Oceans offers state of the art coral reef overview manuals and in class presentations accompanied by coral reef maps, coral reef adventure dive briefings and a collector's series of easy to apply in-water tools that help unlock the mysteries of the coral reef ecosystem, its fauna and flora.
