PADI Open Water Diving Course

Become a certified scuba diver with the PADI Open Water Diver course in Trincomalee.

PADI Open Water Diving Course

Before aquatic practice, you must complete the theory part that covers underwater techniques. You can choose to complete the theory online from home or attend in person at the dive center.

Day 1: Confined water practice

On the first day, hotel pickup in Trincomalee will be at 8:30 am, after which we will review the theoretical content and move to a confined water area for practical training. You will learn techniques such as putting on and taking off the equipment underwater, orientation, and buoyancy.

Days 2 and 3: Immersion in open water

The second and third days will focus on testing your skills with four open water dives. Completing all exercises successfully will earn you the PADI Open Water Diver certificate.

Duration

The course typically lasts three days. It can extend to a maximum of five days if you attend theory classes in person or need extra time for exercises.

Pick up

The activity includes pickup from hotels in Trincomalee. If staying elsewhere, you must travel to Ward No. 1, 9th Mile Post.

Important information

After your last dive, wait at least 24 hours before flying or ascending to high altitudes.
