What to expect

This course with us allows you to make the most of your vacation time abroad. You can start your course from the comfort of your own home with the PADI eLearning®. Then you will jump into the pool for all confined water training sessions of the course with us here in Zurich. This is where you’ll get to take your first breath underwater. You’ll practice using scuba gear with your instructor until you’re comfortable. During the confined water sessions, you’ll learn the basic skills in a progressive order. Each skill, such as ascending or clearing your mask, builds on the ones previous to it. PADI training includes practice “mini dives” to help you build confidence in your new abilities and allow you to try out your skills in a variety of scenarios.

During your vacation you now only need to complete part 2/2 to become a fully certified Open Water Diver. This consists of 4 training dives directly in the ocean where you can explore and enjoy the beautiful underwater world without worrying about too many skill sessions.
