Itinerary / Highlights

The PADI Open Water Course is a structured course that ensures all people who have passed are competent and safe divers. You are required to pass a test and demonstrate practical skills in order to qualify as a PADI Open Water Diver.

The course includes: knowledge development sessions to ensure you are well grounded in dive theory; pool practice dives, where you will learn skills that will prepare you for being an independent diver; and finally you will do four open water (ocean or lake) dives with your instructor.

There may be a minimal fee for site entrance fees depending on the centre.
