The PADI Open Water course will teach you to freedom dive with a buddy independent of a professional to a depth of 18 metres. The certification opens up a whole new world of underwater adventure and discovery.

The course introduces both dive theory and fun practical sessions. The easy to follow workbook can be completed independently in your own time.

You will learn:

• How much fun scuba diving is
• Scuba diving equipment considerations for your local diving environment
• How to plan, and execute actual dives
• How to prevent and manage problems

The PADI Open Water course is made up of:

• Knowledge development home study to understand basic principles of scuba diving.
• Confined water dives to learn basic scuba skills.
• Open water dives to review your skills and explore.

If you’ve tried diving through a Discover Scuba Diving experience or resort course, the skills you learned may be credited towards a portion of the full PADI Open Water diver course certification.

After enrolling for the course we will post you a PADI pack and a guide on which independent study is to be done before the course. You will receive a study book, an electronic dive planner, log book and a great pack to keep it all in, all of which is yours to keep.

Awesome Scuba provides ALL of the equipment needed for our courses, we do however recommend that you have your own mask, snorkel and boots. To help with this we have put together quality bundles of gear at up to 50% off only available to our student divers. See the special offers below.

To enrol in an Open Water or Junior Open Water diver course, you must:

• Be 10 years or older.
