PADI Open Water Diver certification course

$516.00

The PADI Open Water Diver program gives students the knowledge and skills to dive safely in a variety of underwater conditions. PADI Open Water Diver credentials are recognized all over the world. Students will learn the necessary skills to dive safely within the no stop (no decompression) limits. Open Water divers have the privilege to obtain air fills, purchase scuba equipment and book dive tours. They can even dive to familiar sites with another Open Water Diver as a buddy and without a guide. The minimum age is 10 years old to enroll in this course. Students will plan, conduct and log four open water dives as part of their training.

Ideally, the PADI E-Learning (online theory and exam portion) will be completed before the practical training portion. This is the most efficient option and maximizes the time management of limited vacation days. The practical portion consists of four training sessions, each about 4 hours. Two sessions in the pool and two tours to the coral reef for two tank dives. We customize the course organization to the students comfort level. It can be completed in two full days or can be spread out over three or four days.

Students who have not completed the E-Learning in advance, can anticipate a four full day schedule in the dive shop. The extra time is to accommodate the course videos, quizzes and final exam. The E-Learning or book reading is self study and not included in the practical learning schedule.
