What will I do?

Throughout the course, you will learn the fundamentals of scuba diving, including dive equipment and techniques. You earn this rating by completing confined water dives, knowledge development sessions and by making two open water dives.

During the course you will complete 3 shallow water dives, 3 Knowledge Development Sessions in the class and 2 Open Water Training Dives which can all be credited toward the PADI Open Water Diver certification

How long will it take?

PADI programs are performance based. You proceed as you demonstrate mastery of the course skills. This allows you to work at a pace that is comfortable for you.

We generally conduct our courses over a relaxed 2 and a half days, with the first day spent in class, the second day in class and a shallow bay and with the last day conducting your Open Water Training Dives.

Your underwater adventure can begin in the comfort of your own home with the PADI Go Dive Manual or CD-ROM! You can view these materials at your own pace and then review with our Instructor on your arrival. This will reduce class time and maximize dive time!
