The PADI Open Water Diver course is the most popular way to learn to dive worldwide.
 
During the course, you will learn the skills and knowledge to scuba dive to a depth of 18m and, upon completion, obtain a lifelong certification recognised across the globe.
 
What makes us different is that our PADI Open Water Courses are deliberately kept small — with a maximum of just two students per instructor and conducted over a single weekend.
 
This allows us to deliver a far more personalised and flexible learning experience. Everyone learns differently, and rather than rushing through a set schedule, we adapt the course to suit your pace, confidence level, and individual needs.
 
You’ll be trained by an experienced PADI Master Scuba Diver Trainer, giving you access to a higher level of instruction, real-world experience, and hands-on coaching throughout your course.
 
The result is more than just a certification — it’s a solid foundation of skills, confidence, and understanding that will set you up for safe, enjoyable diving long after the course is finished.
If you’re going to invest in learning to dive, it should be done properly — with the time, attention, and guidance you deserve.
 
Course Prerequisites:
​
Minimum age of 12 years. Student divers between 12 and 14 earn the PADI Junior Open Water Diver certification, which they may upgrade to PADI Open Water Diver certification upon reaching 15.
​​
Ability to swim at least 200 meters and tread water for 10 min
 
The Open Water Course has three main components.
​
Knowledge Development (Online Study) – Understanding the basic principles.
Confined Water Dives – Learn the skills to be a safe and confident scuba diver.
Open Water Dives – Practice your new skills, explore, and have FUN!
​​
1. Knowledge Development 
​
Complete your dive theory at your own pace and in a time frame that suits you with PADI’s eLearning. Study at home where you can access interactive videos and quizzes making learning much more fun and engaging. Options are available for either PC or tablet (touch) versions of eLearning. 
 
We also have an additional classroom session in the evening before the pool session where your instructor will assist you with any additional questions you may have as well as fit you out with any equipment you need for the course.
​
2. Equipment fit-out, preparation, and confined water dives (Day 1)
​
This is where you’ll take your first breath underwater.  Diving in the pool is a safe and comfortable environment where you will learn and practice the skills you need to be a confident and safe scuba diver.
​
3. Ocean Dives (Days 1 & 2)
​
Now it is time to head to the ocean. Over two days you will complete four ocean dives.
