Open Water Dive Course

Overview

Diver certification begins here! Development covers the principles, concepts and terms you need to know for dive safety and enjoyment. During the Confined Water Dives, you learn and practice scuba skills in a pool or water with pool-like conditions. You'll enjoy making one or more minidives, which take you through the same steps you follow when you make open water dives. To complete training you practice, apply and demonstrate what you learn during four Open Water Dives at a local dive site..

The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three main phases:

1. Knowledge Development
2. Confined Water Dives
3. Open Water Dives
