Open Water Courses

Open Water Diver  

The first level of diving certification - your ticket to exciting adventures in the underwater world.

Experiencing the Underwater World - What's involved?

The PADI Open Water course is divided into modules and consist of five academic sessions - video and lecture, shallow water sessions - usually in a diver training pool, and four open water dives in the ocean.

What do I need to start?

Be at least 10 years old and be able to swim.

We provide all the equipment and boat trips, for the duration of the course.

Am I fit to dive?

You will have to read and complete a Medical Questionnaire, if you can answer yes to any of the questions, you may require medical clearance to enroll on a diving course, I can email you the Questionnaire if required.

How long will it take?

Typically the course takes between three and four full days, but rest assured, we will not rush you through the programme. Because the course is performance based, you will have plenty of time to practise your new skills prior to certification.

Or begin at home whenever you're ready. With the Open Water Diver manual, videos or interactive CD-ROM, you can cover the course material at your own pace, then meet with your Instructor.

Now what?

After successfully completing the Open Water Diver programme, you'll be issued with your Open Water Diver certification card. This internationally recognised credential is your ticket to the diving world. You may also want to continue your dive education with an Advanced or Speciality Diver course to allow you to explore more dive opportunities.
