About Our Open Water course
The PADI Open Water course is divided into three sections, Knowledge Development, Skills Development and Skills Demonstration
Knowledge Development
Learning to dive involves a modest investment of time to become a safe diver. Traditionally learning to dive required several hours of formal classroom training.

Skills Development
During this portion of the course, you will make a series of pool dives using basic scuba gear, (mask, snorkel, fins, regulator, buoyancy compensation device, dive computer and tank), while developing essential diving skills.
Skills Demonstration
After the Knowledge Development and Pool Sessions, you will make four Open Water dives where you will demonstrate your skills proficiency. Upon completion of your Open Water Dives you will receive your PADI Open Water Diver Certification card.
