Open Water Course: “During the PADI Open Water Diver course you will learn what you need to know to explore the underwater world using diving: most people find it a rewarding challenge!” ​ The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three parts: _Development of knowledge, _confined water dives _and open water dives. Knowledge Development covers the principles, concepts and terms you need to know for the safety and enjoyment of diving.​ During confined water dives, you learn and practice diving techniques in a pool or in water with pool-like conditions. ​ You will enjoy doing one or more mini-dives, which will guide you through the same steps you follow when doing open water dives. ​ To complete the training, you practice, apply and demonstrate what you learn during four open water dives at a local dive site.​ Obtaining a PADI Open Water Diver certification shows that you have completed the course requirements. Dive centers and resorts require proof of certification before renting dive equipment, filling dive tanks, or booking dive excursions. As a PADI Open Water Diver, you will be trained to a maximum depth of 18 meters/60 feet and are qualified to dive in conditions as good or better than those in which you trained. This is just the beginning of a life filled with diving adventures.​ Advanced course: “The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver is designed to improve your underwater knowledge and skills. You can enroll immediately after earning your PADI Open Water Diver certification, regardless of your skill level.” ​ The course helps you build your navigation confidence, refine your buoyancy skills and introduces you to different diving activities such as wreck diving, night diving or underwater imaging.

 

You will complete five adventure dives: a deep dive (above 18 m/60 F), a navigation dive, and three additional adventure dives of your choice to obtain your certification. ​ You will plan your learning journey with your instructor by choosing from a long list of adventure dives. There are two mandatory dives - Deep and Underwater - and you choose the other three, for a total of five dives. During Deep Adventure diving, you learn how to plan dives to deal with the physiological effects and challenges of deeper scuba diving.​ Underwater Navigation Adventure Diving refines your compass navigation skills and helps you navigate better using strike cycles, visual cues and time. ​ ​ ​Rescue Course: "Learn how to prevent and manage problems in the water, and become more confident in your skills as a diver. It's challenging, but very rewarding." ​ The PADI Rescue Diver course teaches you techniques to avoid and manage problems and improve your confidence as a diver. During the course, you will become a better buddy by improving your ability to identify potential problems and practicing diving emergency protocol. The subject matter is serious but the training is fun - many divers tell us the PADI Rescue Diver course was their favorite!
