What to expect

Le cours PADI Open Water Diver se compose de trois phases principales. Le premier est le développement des connaissances, qui couvre tout ce que vous devez savoir sur les techniques de base, la terminologie et les procédures de sécurité en plongée sous-marine. La deuxième est la plongée en eau confinée, qui est une séance de formation dans une piscine ou une eau semblable à une piscine. Ils vous donnent l’occasion de vous habituer à l’équipement que vous utiliserez et de pratiquer les compétences de base de la plongée et les techniques pour vous garder en sécurité. Le troisième est vos plongées en eau libre. Au cours de huit plongées, vous effectuerez divers exercices sous l’eau et à la surface pour vous assurer que vous êtes un plongeur sûr et compétent. La partie formation ne prend généralement que la première partie de la plongée, ce qui signifie que vous passerez une grande partie de votre temps à plonger avec votre instructeur et à explorer le monde sous-marin. Dès que vos plongées de formation en eau libre sont approuvées par votre instructeur, vous serez certifié PADI Open Water Diver ! Cela signifie que vous serez autorisé à plonger partout dans le monde jusqu’à 18 mètres.


Après avoir validé votre e-learning, nous vous attendons à Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer pour passer la partie pratique. Durant 4 jours, vous prendrez place à bord du Silenus pour un départ à la journée (9 h – 16 h). Après la présentation du bateau et des consignes de sécurités autour d’un café, nous partirons pour une petite navigation vers le premier site de plongée. Après votre plongée, vous pourrez nager autour du bateau ou vous relaxer sur les bains de soleil. Vient ensuite le moment de partager un moment de convivialité autour d’un apéritif et d’un déjeuner traiteur. Nous naviguerons ensuite vers le second site de plongée. Après une petite collation, nous rentrons au port de Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer. Les sites de plongée seront différents chaque jour.

The PADI Open Water Diver 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. The second is Confined Water Dives, which are training sessions conducted in a pool or water 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 - you'll make your first dives in the ocean! During eight 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.


After validating your e-learning, we are waiting for you in Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer to pass the practical part. For 4 days, you will take a seat on board the Silenus for a day trip (9 am – 4 pm). After the presentation of the boat and safety instructions around a coffee, we will leave for a small navigation to the first dive site. After your dive, you can swim around the boat or relax on the sunbathing. Then comes the time to share a moment of conviviality around an aperitif and a catering lunch. We will then sail to the second dive site. After a small snack, we return to the port of Saint-Mandrier-sur-Mer. Dive sites will be different every day.
