Open Water Diver
Get your PADI scuba certification. If you’ve always wanted to learn how to scuba dive, discover new adventures or simply see the wondrous world beneath the waves, this is where it starts. The PADI Open Water Diver course is the world’s most popular scuba course, and has introduced millions of people to the adventurous diving lifestyle.
What You Will Learn
The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three main phases:
- Knowledge Development (online, home study or in a classroom ) to understand basic principles of scuba diving
- Confined Water Dives to learn basic scuba skills
- Open Water Dives to review your skills and explore the beauty of Maldives underwater environment
If you’ve tried diving through Discover Scuba Diving, the skills you learned may be credited towards a portion of the full PADI Open Water Diver course certification.
Prerequisites
To enrol in the PADI Open Diver course or Junior Open Water Diver course, you must be 10 years or older.
The Fun Part
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 confined open water dives and four boat dives at local dive sites under the supervision of your PADI Instructor.
The Scuba Gear You Will Use
In the PADI Open Water Diver course, as in all TGI courses, all equipment is included in the cost. You will learn to use scuba gear, including a dive computer, and standard accessories.
The Learning Materials You Will Need
PADI’s Open Water Diver materials cover what you need to know about basic scuba diving skills, terminology and safety procedures. For each concept you’ll read a description and watch a video demonstration. Then you’ll jump in the pool (or pool-like environment) to practice these skills with your instructor. Later, as a certified diver, use the course materials as a reference guide for future diving adventures and to review what you learned. All learning materials you will need are included in the cost of the course and will remain your property.
