What’s the PADI Open Water Course, Exactly?
This is the world’s most recognized beginner scuba certification — you'll unlock a whole new world — diving up to 18 meters, for life!
Here’s how it works:
Dive Theory – eLearning
Learn the essential principles of diving, including safety procedures, how to use your gear, and the science behind scuba diving — all at your own speed.
Pool Training
Before heading to the ocean, you’ll practice everything in a diving pool. You’ll learn how to control your buoyancy, handle situations like clearing your mask or regulator, and stay calm, relaxed, and in control underwater.
Ocean Dives
You’ll complete 4 open water dives in the ocean, where you apply everything you learned in the pool — surrounded by tropical marine life and coral reefs.
Open Water Diver Course takes between 2.5 days to 4 days, with flexible timings that don’t take over your holiday.
No big groups. No rush. Just real training, good vibes, and unforgettable dives.
