Course programme
PADI openwater diver course is the entry level divers course which is reconised around the world and allows you to dive upto 18 metres.
the course is broken in to three sections, knowlagde development, confined water training and open water training.
knowladge development is done in your own home and at your own pace with a instructor just a phone call away at all times to give you help and guidance through out the first part of your course. when you feel ready you will contact your instructor and make a date for your written exam.
once yourknowledge development section is over you will start you confined water training in a local pool. the groups of students are kept very small to aid instruction and to help build the students confidance ready for the open water dives. in the cinfined water section you will be tought and get to practice all the skills you need to dive safely and enjoy your diving expeniance.
the open water dive's take place over two days at a local lake which has been modified for divers to increase the safety aspect as well as the enjoyment of diving within these sites. in your openwater dives you will get the chance to go over a number of the skills you practiced in the confirned water dives while enjoying the feeling of weightlessness and exporling perposly sunken wrecks with the local widlife.
