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 watch an introduction video about PADI.

Day 1: Theory + practice in confined waters

The day starts with the group gearing up and entering the pool for basic exercises. You'll learn to set up and use the equipment. This is followed by the theory portion of the PADI Open Water Diver course in a classroom setting.

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

The day involves another classroom session and a test to check your theoretical knowledge of diving, followed by practical application. The group will complete two dives in open water at a maximum depth of 12 meters or 40 feet.

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

On the final day, the group will head out early to complete the last two open-water dives at a maximum depth of 18 meters or 60 feet. You'll learn key skills such as setting up the equipment, buoyancy control, clearing your mask, and assisting someone who runs out of air. Successfully completing all exercises leads to your PADI Open Water Diver certificate!
