Open Water Diver Course

Duration 4 Days

The Open Water course is the first level of PADI Diver certification.

This course is designed to train the complete beginner to a standard where they are qualified to dive anywhere in the world to a maximum depth of 18 meters. As a scuba diver, you will come to know the beauty of the underwater world and experience unique sensations like breathing underwater for the first time and the feeling of floating weightless like an astronaut in space.

This course is divided into three segments: Academic training, Confined-water training and Open-water training. Academic training gives you the basic principles and knowledge you need for safe and enjoyable diving. Confined water-training will teach you the basic skills of diving. The Open-water training allows you to demonstrate your mastery of these skills and practice them in a typical diving situation. These segments will be taught to you in five modules. For each module there are specific objectives and skill performance requirements that need to be learnt and completed before participating in the next level. This ensures that you have understood and learnt each section thoroughly, allowing you to repeat modules as needed. On successfully completing the Open Water course you will receive a certification card (similar to a credit card), with your photo on it, which will be sent to your home address.

The Open Water Diver course is only the beginning of what diving has to offer you. We guarantee that you will want to continue your diving education and enjoy pleasures such as underwater photography, deep diving and night diving.

Don’t forget the next step is the Advanced Open Water Course! Why not do them both together and save time, money and unhappiness when you discover just how much deeper you can go!
