Itinerary
& Highlights |

* Knowledge Development: This teaches you the basic principles and procedures. You learn things like how pressure affects your body, how to choose the best gear and what to consider when planning dives. You complete Knowledge Development on your own, reading each of five sections of the PADI Open Water Diver Manual and watching the corresponding section of the PADI Open Water Diver Video (which also previews skills you’ll learn). You briefly review what you studied in each section with your instructor and take a short quiz to be sure you’re getting it. At the end of the course, you take an exam that makes sure understand all the key concepts and ideas.
* Confined Water Dives: This is what it's all about - diving. You develop basic scuba skills in the calm shallow conditions in front of the club. Here you'll learn everything from setting up your gear to how to easily get water out of your mask without surfacing. You'll also practice some emergency skills, like sharing air - just in case. There are five confined water dives, with each building upon the previous. Over the course of these five dives, you attain the skills you need to dive in open water.
* Open Water Dives: After your confined water dives, we move to the Open Water reef. This is where you have fun putting it all together and fully experience the underwater adventure - at the beginner level, of course.
* Prerequisites: 10 years for Junior Open Water Diver and 15 years for Open Water Diver. Good health, reasonable fitness and comfort in the water. |
