What to expect

The PADI Open Water Diver course is structured into three primary phases:

  1. Knowledge Development: We will provide educational materials to commence your studies. This phase covers essential information regarding fundamental techniques, terminology, and safety protocols in scuba diving. For each topic, you will review written explanations and view corresponding instructional videos.

  2. Confined Water Dives: These practical sessions are conducted in water conditions that simulate a pool environment. You will be introduced to and practice essential diving skills, as well as learn safety techniques and how to effectively respond to various potential emergency scenarios.

  3. Open Water Dives: This phase involves completing your first real dives in the ocean.

Upon successful completion and approval of your open water training dives, you will be awarded the PADI Open Water Diver certification. This internationally recognized credential permits you to rent scuba equipment and dive independently to a maximum depth of 18 meters, for life.
