Join the family of around 6 million certified divers by signing up for your PADI Open Water course today! The eLearning option makes the most of your holiday time - you'll complete your theory online before you travel.
The PADI Open Water Diver course comprises theory, Confined Water training and 4 Open Water dives.
In this course the theory is completed using PADI eLearning, normally before your holiday begins. Basic techniques, terminology and safety procedures in scuba diving will be explained with video demonstrations. You will complete online tests but your Instructor will go through a revision of this at the start of the course, and will be reinforcing the learning throughout the practical training.
Once at the dive centre you will be shown equipment set-up and begin your Confined Water training in the pool next to the dive centre.
On days 2 and 3 of the course you will be making 4 Open Water dives, repeating the skills practised in the Confined Water training. We start the Open Water diving from the shore with an easy entry from a gently sloping sandy beach. On the last day you will be ready for your final 2 Open Water dives which we make from our boat.
By the end of dive 4 you will be a PADI Open Water Diver, certified to dive around the world to a recommended maximum depth of 18 metres. Your Instructor will complete your logbook with you, with details of your first 4 dives, and we will process your certification electronically. The adventure has begun!
