Buddha Divers

Perched in Valparaíso, Chile, Buddha Divers is a PADI 5 Star IDC Center backed by a team of 8 instructors and a Platinum Course Director. Instruction is offered in English, French and Spanish, and the full range of PADI courses and programs runs every month — right up to the Instructor Development Course — making this a natural home for divers who want to keep progressing.

Courses and dive sites

Newcomers can get their first taste of the sport with PADI Discover Scuba Diving, a roughly 3-hour session from USD 86. Those ready to go further will find PADI Open Water Diver and PADI Advanced Open Water Diver on the schedule, alongside plenty of fun dives.

The center's local dive sites give the area real character, from the Naufragio Caupolican wreck to Muelle Barón and Punta Buddha. With multilingual instruction and a strong training pedigree, Buddha Divers suits everyone from curious first-timers to aspiring professionals.
