What to expect

This is the eLearning version of the PADI Open Water Diver course. It means you can either choose to complete your theory at home before arriving on Malta, or if you are already on Malta, you can complete the theory part of your course prior to starting your in water training with us.
This course consists of three main phases.
The first is Knowledge Development, which covers everything you need to know about basic techniques, terminology and safety procedures in scuba diving. You'll complete this digitally using PADI's eLearning system.
The second is Confined Water Dives, which are training sessions conducted in one of our sheltered bays with pool-like conditions. They give you the opportunity to get used to the gear you'll be using and practice the basic skills of diving and techniques to keep you safe.
The third is your Open Water Dives. This is what it's all about!  During the four dives, you'll perform various skills under water and on the surface to make sure you're a safe and competent diver.

The training portion usually only takes up the first part of the dive, meaning that you will get to spend a big part of your time diving with your instructor and exploring the underwater world.
As soon as your open water training dives are approved by your instructor you will be certified as a PADI Open Water Diver!
This means you will be allowed to dive anywhere in the world down to 18 meters, lifelong!
