Open Water Course

Consists of 5 theory lessons, 5 swimming pool lessons, and 4 open water dives. A final exam is given for which a minimum of 75% must be scored in order to pass. This can be completed in 4 days. After completion the student receives a diving license allowing them to dive with another certified diver to a maximum depth of 18 meters. We offer three exciting options for taking the PADI Open Water Diver Course:

Option 1:
The Standard Open Water Diver Course is the basic Open Water Diver Course. It includes academic theory mixed with water sessions. During the academic sessions you will watch the Open Water Diver video and listen to your instructor's elaboration. After each theory session you will go for a confined water session in shallow water located in front of the dive centre. During the confined water sessions you will practice some skills and then go on open water dives in the sea and explore the aquatic life on. This is where you apply what you learned in the classroom and confined water sessions to adapt to the underwater environment.

Option 2:
The Fast Track Course is ideal for people who prefer an action holiday, but have completed all the theory by self study at home, prior to starting the course. The self study at home will allow you to complete the course in 3 days instead of 4, saving you 1 day of your holiday to enjoy more diving! This can be accomplished by 2 methods:
1.)Reading the Open Water Diver Manual, watching the Open Water Diver videos and completing the 'Knowledge Review' questions and the end of each chapter in the manual.

2.)Interacting with the Open Water Multimedia CD-ROM and completing the 'Knowledge Review' questions. Please contact us for more details:
Upon starting your course, your instructor will collect the 'Knowledge Review' questions, review them and remediate if necessary. Then it's time to go diving! All the confined and open water sessions are conducted as per Standard course. After successful completion of all the course requirements you will receive the certification of Open Water Diver.

Option 3 :
If you enjoy having some luxury during your diving holiday, then the Private Open Water Diver Course is the one for you. You can mold it to fit your activity schedule, setting the schedule you chose, and in any number of days during your holiday. While the Standard course can take up to eight students, you will enjoy being on a one to one, or two to one (if your friend wants to join) basis with the instructor who is able to give you more personal attention.
