Hit the Open Water

The PADI Open Water Diver Certification is the first scuba certification level.

Now is the time to dive into the PADI Open Water Diver course, the most popular dive program in the world! This is your ticket to a lifetime of adventure with PADI, the dive company that sets the standards in the global diving community.

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.

PADI eLearning lets you learn at your own pace, and we complement that with five classroom and pool sessions to build your skills and confidence before making four dives in the ocean.
