PADI OPEN WATER COURSE

 

What is a PADI Open Water Course?

If you’ve always wondered what lies beneath the surface, now’s the time to find out. Start the journey of a lifetime with the PADI Open Water Diver course. It will change you forever.

In the PADI Open Water Diver course, we will takes you through the basics of learning how to scuba dive. You start in a local pool and progress to the open water, getting the background knowledge, as you progress through the course.

We run small groups here, so there is always plenty of time to ask questions and get as much hands on experience as you require, this will ensure that you become a safe confident SCUBA diver.

What is required on the course?

  • There are no pre-requisites for enrolling on an Open Water Course. Anyone who is in good health and comfortable in the water can earn a PADI Open Water Diver certification. You must be older than the age of 14 to begin the PADI Open Water Diver program.
  • Once you have signed up for the course, we will supply you with the PADI Crew Pack and DVD to start your study. The manual that is included in the crew pack, is designed to walk you through the learning process and there are regular quizzes to ensure that you have grasped the concepts.

What to expect from the course?

The next step is the classroom sessions, which we complete over a weekend.  As nobody likes to be sat in a classroom for long periods of time, we will go to the pool twice a day to teach you how to use your SCUBA equipment and the skills and procedures you will need and give enough time to ensure that you are happy with them all. Practise makes perfect!!

                                                         

We will then arrange to go to the Open Water and complete your 4 Open Water training dives.  These dives are usually carried out at the sea side, as we like people to enjoy themselves and make a weekend of it.  Please see the Gallery for more pictures of our courses

 

Once you have successfully completed the Open Water dives, you will become a qualified PADI Open Water SCUBA Diver.
