Course Description

The PADI Open Water Diver course is the first level of diver certification that everyone goes through. 

Over the span of 3 weeks, the student divers will learn and train on various skills from diver wellbeing to problem management with an emphasis on staying safe while having fun. Starting from the shallow end and eventually making your way to the deep end of the pool at 4.5m, you will spend time with fellow divers and experienced instructors in a easygoing and fun learning environment.
