PADI Open Water Diver
If you’ve always wanted to take scuba diving lessons, experience unparalleled adventure and see the world beneath the waves, this is where it starts. Get your scuba diving certification with the PADI® Open Water Diver course – the world’s most popular and widely recognised scuba course. Millions of people have learned to scuba dive and gone on to discover the wonders of the aquatic world through this course. To enrol in a PADI Open Water Diver course (or Junior Open Water Diver course), you must be 10 years old or older. You need adequate swimming skills and need to be in good physical health. No prior experience with scuba diving is required.
The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three main parts:
- Knowledge Development ( online, independent study) to understand basic principles of scuba diving.
- Confined Water Dives to learn basic scuba diving skills.
- Open Water Dives to use your skills and explore!
In the PADI Open Water Diver course, you learn to use basic scuba gear, including a mask, snorkel, fins, regulator, buoyancy control device and a tank.
The Junior Open Water is the same course as the Open Water, however once qualified the child can only dive to a depth of 12m and has to be escorted by a parent / guardian or PADI professional. The junior qualification automatically upgrades to the full Open Water in the child's 16th Birthday without any further training.
During the Covid pandemic we offer 2 versions of the PADI Open Water Course:
- PADI Open Water referral £350. With this option you do the theory and pool sessions with us then go to a dive centre in the sun for the 4 qualifying dives. This means you don't waste valuable holiday time bashing the books and will usually be fully qualified in two days. But please be aware this is not the cheapest option as the centre you take your qualifying dives with will make an additional charge
- PADI Open Water £525. This is our top notch option that even includes a mask & snorkel for you to keep. This option also comes with our "Pass Guarantee" option that allows you to repeat sections of the course again and again until you pass with ease.
All our Open Water Courses come with easy payment terms:-
- £175 when you sign up for the course this covers your eLearning materials.
- £175 before your first Pool Dive.
- Balance of course cost before your first Open Water dive.
