5 pool or confined water training sessions
4 open water dives
The knowledge development is based on 5 theory modules, thoroughly explained in your Open Water Diver Manual. The knowledge development lessons start with watching the video for each module. Thereafter, your instructor reviews the topics with you and a quick quiz at the end of each module assures that you understood everything you need to know. After you have been through all 5 modules, you will easily finalize the knowledge development with a final exam.
The confined water training takes place either in the swimming pool of the hotel above the dive center or in a sheltered bay. Here you learn how to handle your dive equipment, experience your first breath underwater and practice all the skills required for safe and enviable scuba diving.
During the open water ocean dives you will apply the skills learnt in the confined water and you will adapt step-by-step to the underwater world. Having finalized the open water training, you earn your PADI Open Water Diver Certificate. The Open Water Diver certification is accepted at any dive spot worldwide and discerns you as a scuba diver who has a full understanding and good practice of the basic knowledge and skills in order to be able to dive in a safe manner.
