OPTION 1 – THE STANDARD OPEN WATER COURSE
This is the standard course comprising 6 to 8 hours of self-study followed by 2.5 days of practical classes.
WHO IS THIS OPTION FOR?
- Candidates who are on holiday and have limited time
- Candidates with prior experience snorkeling or have done discover dives before
- Candidates who feel very comfortable in the water
HERE IS THE PLAN:
Part 1 – Theory through self-study
We will provide you with a manual and videos. You will review this in your own time. It is important to note that all the materials must be completed before starting with part 2. Don’t worry, the instructor will go through the theory with you to make sure you understand everything and answer any questions you may have.
Part 2 – Practical classes
In the practical classes you will learn some important diving skills and complete 4 open water dives.
Many people like to split these days, having a break in-between, as there is a lot to take in. We are flexible and willing to adapt to your needs.
Day 1 (08:00 – 14:00)
We will start by going over your knowledge reviews to ensure you have understood the self-study materials. We will review all the important concepts together and ensure they have been properly grasped before jumping into the water. Next we will have an intro to the scuba equipment followed by a dive.
Day 2 (08:00 – 14:00)
We will start learning the basic skills in a calm and still environment getting you comfortable in the water and confident in your equipment. Next will complete 2 open water dives concentrating on your buoyancy and using your skills in a realistic environment.
Day 3 (08:00 – 14:00)
We will complete any final skills we did not do on day 1 followed by 2 more open water dives. If you manage to complete all the skills and the dives competently and safely, you will be issued your Open Water Certification, and will be a fully certified scuba diver!
HOW MUCH IS IT?
The price is 380€ and includes 5 dives, full equipment, teaching materials & PADI Open Water Diver Certificate.
To book your course we take a deposit to hold your dates. This comes out of your course price.
You are required for this course to be able to swim 200m and float for 10 minutes, but don’t worry it doesn’t have to be done gracefully if you are not a confident swimmer. Also, you must be a minimum of 10 years old.
