PADI Open Water Course

Start day: Orientation

On this preliminary day, you'll meet your instructor in the evening to complete all the necessary paperwork and receive your diving manual. The group will also watch an introduction video.

Day 1: Theory + practice in confined waters

The group will begin the morning in the pool for basic exercises. You'll learn to set up and use the equipment. After this, a classroom session will provide the theoretical knowledge needed for the PADI Open Water Diver course.

Day 2: Theory + practice in shallow open water (12 m / 40 ft)

Following another classroom session and a theoretical knowledge test, the group will perform two dives in open water with a maximum depth of 12 meters (40 feet).

Day 3: Open water dives (18 m / 60 ft)

The final day includes a morning boat trip to complete the last two open-water dives. You will demonstrate essential skills such as setting up equipment, buoyancy control, mask clearing, and assisting divers. Successfully completing these exercises will earn you the PADI Open Water Diver certificate!

Important

You should wait at least 24 hours after your last dive to get on a plane or visit high-altitude areas.
