This course covers the first three of five parts in the PADI Open Water Diver Course. It provides dive students with the knowledge and foundation that is needed to scuba dive. It does include a certification but does not certify divers to dive without professional supervision (as the Open Water Course does). Divers will be able to dive up to 12 meters deep. This course can be completed in minimum of 2 days.
This course consists of two parts: theory and practice. The theory will consist of a class session where students will review the divers’ manual, watch videos, take quizzes, and have class with a professional PADI instructor. The practice will consist of a confined water session in shallow water where the student will learn and develop all of the necessary skills, followed by two dives in the ocean in two separate dive sites.
