Padi Open Water (beginners) Diver Certification

The PADI Open Water Course consits of three sections:

Confined water dives.

Knowledge development and reviews

Open Water Dives.

The fun begins with the confined water dives, during which you will apply dive principles, and learn and practice dive procedures and skills. This is done in a swimming pool under your constructor's guidence and supervision. There are five confined water dives that correspond with five knowledge development sections.

Knowledge development establishes the principles and basic information all divers need to have fun diving safely. It's divided into five segments that you will complete at your own time and convenience using the manual and Open Water Video. After each segment, your instructor reviews and elaborates on the material applying your learning to specific needs, interests and the local dive environment.

The open water dives complete your training as an entry level diver by applying and further developing your knowledge and dive skills in a dive environment under your instrucors supervision and guidence. You will make at least four scuba dives during this part of the Open Water Course.

Completing the Open Water Course will allow the diver to:

• Dive independentley (with a buddy) while applying the knowledge and skills learnt within the limits of your training and experience.
• Procure air fills, scuba equipment and other services.
• Plan, conduct and log open water non decompression dives when equiped properly and accompanied by a buddy in conditions with which you have training and/or experience.
• Continue your diver training with a speciality dive in the PADI Advanced Open Water programme, and/or in PADI Speciality courses.
