Location

Description

The PADI Open Water Diver course includes three parts: Knowledge Development, Confined Water Dives, and Open Water Dives. Knowledge Development covers the principles, concepts and terms you need to know for dive safety and enjoyment. This section can be done by ordering the PADI elearning https://www.padi.com/courses/open-water-diver?irra=23178 to study online before your arrival. During the Confined Water Dives, you learn and practice scuba skills in a pool or water with pool-like conditions. To complete training, you practice, apply and demonstrate what you learn during four Open Water Dives at local dive sites.

Earning a PADI Open Water Diver certification shows that you met the course requirements. Dive centers and resorts require proof of certification before they will rent scuba equipment, fill scuba cylinders or book dive excursions. As a PADI Open Water Diver, you’ll be trained to a maximum depth of 18 m/60 ft. It’s just the beginning of a lifetime filled with dive adventures.

* When you book online with us you are charged the amount for the course without the PADI elearning. You need to purchase this one separately. Follow the link provided in the description or on our website in Scuba diving/PADI dive courses click on the blue elearning banner. Pick Open water diver and follow instruction.
