What to expect

The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three main phases. 

The first is Knowledge Development, which covers everything you need about basic techniques, terminology, and safety procedures in scuba diving. 

The second is confined water dives, training sessions conducted in a pool or water with pool-like conditions. They allow you to get used to the gear you'll be using and practice the basic diving skills 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 four dives, you'll perform various skills underwater and on the surface to ensure you're a safe and competent diver. 

The training portion usually only takes up the first part of the dive, meaning you will get to spend much time diving with your instructor and exploring the underwater world. 

When your instructor approves your open-water training dives, you will be certified as a PADI Open Water Diver for life!
