The real excitement begins with your Open Water Training sessions. Over the course 2 days training, you'll apply the skills you've learned in the pool and gain valuable hands-on experience in the open water. During these dives, you'll practice key underwater techniques and learn to dive down with head down position, free immersion by only pulling rope, this is to ensuring you become a confident and competent diver.


Training typically takes up the first part of each dive, leaving you plenty of time to explore the vibrant underwater world with your instructor. Once you've successfully completed your open water dives and demonstrated your skills, you’ll be awarded your PADI Freediver certification.
