PADI OPEN WATER DIVER

Open Water

OPEN WATER

Open Water Diver is the most comprehensive and popular course for new divers. This course teaches you all the skills to begin your adventure as a recreational diver, and allows you to dive to depths of 18m and plan your own dives independently.

This qualification is a must for those looking to get the most out of their diving experience!

We run regular, scheduled classes throughout March – October which are limited to a group size of 4:1, but you may also book in a private course for more personalised  group sizes and dates.

The course is done over 3 days; the first day is conducted in the pool where you’ll learn all the skills required to dive safely and learn how to control your movement in the water. After that it’s 4 Open Water dives conducted over 2 days to give you the chance to put those skills into action, and climatise you to the ocean environment.

Theory is conducted via e-learning beforehand for your convenience.

Please note that the is a 200m swim test and 10 minute float requirement and you should be comfortable with putting your head underwater. If you are unsure about your in water ability, or you want to test out diving first you can check out the Discover Scuba Diving Course for an intro!
