Open Water Course - €425 - (With Ultimate Crewpack, Certification, Manual, eRDPML and PADI SMB)

The PADI Open Water Diver course includes three parts: Knowledge Development, Confined

Water Dives, and Open Water Dives. Knowledge Development covers the principles, concepts

and terms you need to know for dive safety and enjoyment. During the Confined Water Dives,

you learn and practice scuba skills in a pool or water with pool-like conditions. You'll enjoy

making one or more mini-dives, which take you through the same steps you follow when you

make open water dives. To complete training you practice, apply and demonstrate what you

learn during four Open Water Dives at a local dive site. There are 5 sessions in Confined Water

and 4 sessions in Open Water. Earning a PADI Open Water Diver certification shows that you

have met the course requirements. Dive centres require proof of certification before they will

rent scuba equipment, fill scuba cylinders or book dive excursions. As a PADI Open Water Diver,

you'll be trained to a maximum depth of 18 metres and are qualified to dive in conditions as good as, or better than, those in which you trained.

It's just the beginning of a lifetime filled with dive adventures. Shallower depth limits apply to divers under the age of 16.
