Open Water
The PADI Open Water course is the world's most recognised diving certification and introduces students to the world of SCUBA diving. The Open Water program takes place over three days. You will complete four training dives while venturing alongside whale sharks, turtles and a plethora of colourful fish and other creatures. This will help to enhance your understanding and appreciation of the marine environment.
Students will receive the PADI eLearning to study before having their first diving experience in the on-site swimming pool. After some dive theory and shallow water skills our students will be ready for their first ocean dive.
Your PADI Open Water diving certification will be recognised world wide for life. As a certified Open Water diver you can immediately begin the PADI Advanced Open Water course. Most of our students chose to do this. You can also fun dive with us at a dicounted rate.
The program
The course is designed to be completed over 2.5 days, with a flexible schedule to fit your travel plans.
