Open Water Diver
Why PADI Open Water?
As a certified PADI Open Water Diver, (the most widely recognised and respected rating in the world), you will have the freedom to dive with a buddy independent of a professional. If you've already tried a PADI Discover Scuba Experience or are PADI Scuba Diver certified, check with us to see how credit from these courses may apply to the Open Water program.
What do I need to start?
Virtually anyone who's in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can earn a PADI Open Water Diver certification. If you're aged 10-14 or have a child between these ages, there is a PADI Junior Open Water Diver program available.
What will I do?
Throughout the course, you'll learn the fundamentals of scuba diving, and become familiar with dive equipment and techniques. You'll earn this certification by completing five pool dives and knowledge development sessions, and by making four open water (sea) dives.
How long will it take?
PADI programs are performance based. You proceed as you demonstrate mastery of the course skills. This allows you to work at a pace that is comfortable for you, usually two to three weeks.
