What You Learn

• Confined Water Dives to learn basic scuba skills
• Open Water Training

The Fun Part

The fun part about this course is . . . well, just about all of it because learning to dive is incredible. You breathe underwater for the first time (something you’ll never forget) and learn what you need to know to become a certified diver. During the course, you’ll make at least four pool dives  under the supervision of your PADI Instructor.

The Scuba Gear You Use.

In the PADI Open Water Diver course, you learn to use basic scuba gear  including a dive computer, and standard accessories. The equipment you wear varies somewhat, depending upon whether you’re diving in tropical, temperate  or cold water.

We provide all the scuba equipment to get you started with your training

The Learning Materials You Need

PADI offers a variety of home-study materials for the Open Water Diver course. PADI’s Open Water Diver materials cover what you need to know about basic scuba diving skills, terminology and safety procedures. For each concept you’ll read a description and watch a video demonstration. Then you’ll jump in the pool to practice these skills with your instructor. Later, as a certified diver, use the course materials as a reference guide for future diving adventures and to review what you learned.
