The fun part about this course is...well, just about all of it because learning to dive is incredible. You breathe underwater for the first time (something you'll never forget) and learn what you need to know to become a certified diver. During the course, you'll make at least five pool dives and four dives at local dive sites under the supervision of your PADI Instructor.

You need to answer questions about the basic principles of scuba diving, which shows that you know how to plan dives, choose the right scuba gear and understand underwater signals and diving procedures. You can learn this information in the PADI Open Water Diver Manual or by completing the PADI Open Water Diver eLearning course. Your instructor will demonstrate each skill for you and will get a chance to show you have learned the skills during your confined water dives. At the end of the course, you will take the final exam.
The Open Water Diver course consists of 3 major parts: theory, confined water, and open water dives. All parts must be successfully completed in order to obtain the most sought-after dive certification worldwide. Therefore, being great at theory and not so confident in water, or vice versa, is not a good start to your life as a diver.
Another important skill to master, definitely underrated, is the care of the equipment. In my experience as a dive guide, I have encountered certified divers that had no idea how to set up their own gear, because their instructor never taught them and they always did it for them. Wow! Learning how to set up and maintain your equipment, including after-dive care, is such an important skill that many diving agencies specify a minimum number of times you are required to perform this skill throughout your course. Would you buy a car, without knowing how to open the trunk or changing a light?
You must complete four open water dives in order to pass the course. Dive 1 will orientate you, get you comfortable with the scuba gear and test a few of the above skills. Dives 2 and 3 will rigorously test the above skills while Dive 4 is usually a more relaxed affair allowing you to use and enjoy your newly developed skills.
There are four components to the PADI Open Water Diver course: theory, confined water work, waterskills asessement, and open water dives.The PADI Open Water Diver course normally takes 3-5 days to complete. This course certifies you to dive to a maximum depth of 18 m/60 feet.
As with all PADI courses, our PADI Open Water Diver course is performance based and not time based, meaning we will spend the time needed to make sure you will be a competent, safe diver at the end of the course.We like to create variety in each day, so each day we will combine classroom work, confined water work, and open water dives. Most days will start at 9AM, but it all depends on performance. We have a general schedule that we like to follow, but we personalize each course to match our students' strengths and needs.
There are five chapters in the PADI Open Water Diver manual, with five Knowledge Reviews (one per chapter), four quizzes and one final exam. You will watch the PADI Open Water Diver video during your course, which works in conjunction with the PADI Open Water Diver manual. Everything in the PADI Open Water Diver course is about reinforcement - the video reinforces the knowledge you learn in the manual, which is reinforced by the Knowledge Reviews, which is reinforced by the quizzes, which is reinforced by the final exam. We like to spread the theory out so that your in-water work will then reinforce everything you learn in theory.
The best part! You will complete four open water dives during your course. On each dive, you will have some skills to complete, like mask clearing, regulator recovery, and different buoyancy procedures. All of these skills you would have practiced in your confined water dives, so it's just a refresher of the skills you already practiced. The majority of the dive is just spent diving, since practicing diving is just as important as practicing skills.
You will learn the fundamental skills needed for scuba diving. During the course, you read the student manual, watch informative videos, take quizzes, and demonstrate mastery of basic scuba diving skills during practice sessions in confined water before moving on to open water dives.
The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three main portions: Knowledge Development, Confined Water Dives, and Open Water Dives. You can either complete your knowledge development online with PADI eLearning (desktop, mobile, or tablet) or in a classroom. Then, you complete your confined and open water dives under the direct supervision and guidance of a PADI Professional.
The Advanced Open Water Course is a fairly easy courses to complete, as there are no quizzes, exams, or pool sessions. The PADI Advanced Open Water Course consists of 5 different adventure dives. You are required to do a knowledge review for each dive, which your instructor will go over with you before getting in the water.
The value of a patient and experienced instructor can not be emphasized enough. Your instructor will transform you into a comfortable and confident diver by thoroughly teaching you a set of skills and then leading you on open water dives during your SSI Open Water Diver course. We conduct the course in the Andaman Islands typically over four days. This will include a focus on the theoretical aspects of diving, 20 skills, and 6 dives in the open water.
As you begin your training, your growing comfort in the water throughout the course will take you by surprise. There will be a set of skills to master control over the positioning of your body, your buoyancy, using your fins effectively, and more. Once you go for your open water dives you will get the opportunity to practice your newly acquired skills more freely while swimming around the fish in an open sea. Your instructor will be with you throughout the process.
Once you have learned these skills you will be all set to go on your first open water dive. The instructor will teach you how to plan the dive and how to execute your first dive safely. He or she will also explain the entry and exit methods, the importance of a steady breathing pattern, the importance of regular equalization, and other important safety considerations. The instructor will guide you and encourage you to observe marine life and observe the topography of the dive site. As you become a more experienced diver, you will be able to navigate a dive site more confidently and learn about the marine life that you have seen during your dive. 2ff7e9595c
