Welcome to the PADI Open Water course. Diver training courses are meant to be
fun, but like any form of learning, you will need to invest some time and effort
reading and studying.
As a certified PADI Open Water Diver, the most widely recognized and respected
rating in the world, you have the freedom to dive with a buddy independent of a
professional. If you already tried a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience or
are PADI Scuba Diver certified, check with your instructor to see how credit
from these courses may apply to the open water program.
Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the
water can earn a PADI Open Water Diver certification. If you are between 10 and
14 or have a child between these ages, there is a PADI Junior Open Water Diver
program available
-
A PADI Jr. Open Water Diver between the ages of 10 and 12 years may only dive with a PADI
Professional, a certified parent or certified guardian to a maximum depth of 12 meters/40 feet
Throughout the course, you’ll learn fundamentals of scuba diving, including dive
equipment and techniques. You earn this rating by completing five pool dives and
knowledge development sessions and by making four open water (ocean or lake)
dives.
PADI programs are performance based. You proceed as you demonstrate mastery of
the course skills. This allows you to work at a pace that is comfortable for you.
Typically class and poolwork are completed in one weekend, followed by 4 open water
dives over another weekend. See our
schedule.
