The course is designed to teach students the basic knowledge and skills needed to safely scuba dive in open water environments and includes three main phases:
- Knowledge Development: This includes classroom instruction, independent study, quizzes and final exams to ensure that students understand the basic principles of scuba diving, including dive planning, dive physiology, dive equipment, and the dive environment.
- Confined Water Dives: This includes confined water training sessions (in a swimming pool like environment) where students will practice basic scuba skills such as clearing water from the mask, regulator recovery and emergency procedures.
- Open Water Dives: This includes four open water dives where students will apply the skills learned in the confined water dives and become comfortable with diving in an open water environment.
Upon completion of the course, students will be certified to dive to depths of up to 60 feet/18 meters with a diving buddy. The PADI Open Water dive cert is recognised worldwide, and it is valid forever.
