Open Water Diver (3-5 days)
Course consists of 5 units of theory course, 5 closed water training modules and 4 open water dives.
Learning to dive is not as hard as you might think, but like any activity it takes effort. The PADI Open Water Diver course takes you through three phases: theory training, confined water dives and open water dives.
The theory course introduces you to the effects of the aquatic environment on the human body and how to stay in it. You will learn how to select the correct equipment and what to look for when you plan to dive and many other valuable information for recreational diving. You can familiarize yourself with the theory by reading the PADI Open Water Diver textbook or by watching specialized instructional videos. If you have any questions, your instructor will explain all the difficult points. At the end of the course, you will take a theory exam.
During confined water dives you will learn basic scuba diving skills in a pool or confined water environment with similar conditions. You learn everything you need to make safe recreational dives, from how to set up and adjust your equipment to how to clean your mask underwater. You'll also practice emergency situations such as breathing with a buddy from the same regulator, surfacing in an emergency, and what to do if you're out of air. By the end of your confined water training, you'll have reached the level of training you need to dive in open water.
After you have completed your confined water dives, you will continue your training on four open water dives with your PADI instructor. As part of these dives, you will finally be able to understand what real underwater adventure is all about.
