As a certified PADI Open Water Diver, the most widely recognized and respected rating in the world, you have the freedom to dive with a buddy independent of a professional. If you already tried a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience or are PADI Scuba Diver certified, check with your instructor to see how credit from these courses may apply to the open water diver program.
What do I need to start?
Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, comfortable in the water and can swim 200 meters can earn a PADI Open Water Diver certification. If you are between 10 and 14 or have a child between these ages, check out the PADI Junior Open Water Diver program.
How long will it take?
PADI programs are performance based. You proceed as you demonstrate mastery of the course skills. This allows you to work at a pace that is comfortable for you. The usual duration is 3 or 4 full days.
What will I do in this course?
Throughout the course, you’ll learn the fundamentals of scuba diving, including dive equipment and techniques. You earn this rating by completing five pool dives and knowledge development sessions and by making four open water (ocean) dives. Please contact us directly via email if you have special needs.
What can I do after this course?
You can go on with your dive adventure and do several Adventure Dives. These will give you a fun and quick way to sample many different specialty diving techniques in one Adventure Diver course. If you do five Adventure Dives you qualify for the PADI Advanced Open Water certification.
What do I need to bring?
All of the diving equipment is available from us however, you are welcome to bring or purchase your own. Do bring your swimsuit, sunscreen and towels.
