The Fun Part

The fun part about this course is . . . well, just about all of it because learning to dive is incredible! You breathe underwater for the first time (something you’ll never forget) and learn what you need to know to become a certified diver. During the course, you’ll make at least five confined water dives and four dives at local dive sites under the supervision of your PADI Instructor.

What you learn

• How much fun is scuba diving
• Scuba diving equipment considerations for your local diving environment.
• How to plan, and execute actual dives.
• How to prevent and manage problems.

The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three main phases:

• Knowledge Development to understand basic principles of scuba diving
• Confined Water Dives to learn basic scuba skills
• Open Water Dives to review your skills and explore some dive sites!

If you’ve tried diving through a Discover Scuba Diving experience, the skills you learned may be credited towards a portion of the full PADI Open Water Diver course certification.
