PADI Open Water is the most famous certification
The PADI Open Water course is the most famous entry level of recreational diving recognized worldwide. In a few days, get your first certification and enter the circle of scuba divers. This course is the most complete training. After the certification, the PADI Open Water diver can evolve into a space between 0 and 18 meters deep. He is autonomous diver, he don’t need a divemaster anymore, but at least a buddy.
Theory section
After watching 5 videos, you earn knowledge about scuba diving. Your instructor will follow you throughout each chapter. You will learn some theoretical and physic knowledges, equipment, environment and decompression. He will submit you some knowledge reviews, quizzes and a final exam to verify that you have assimilated and understood the contents of all workshops. Feel free to ask any questions.
Confined Water
During the training, your instructor will teach you all the skills to evolve into the underwater environment. You will practice skills for your comfort and safety in a pool or in the sea which can offer the same conditions as a pool. The objective of these dives is not only to teach you the diving skills, but especially to let you have fun ! Although this is a serious training, asking you to get involved : watch, understand, repeat, help, etc … the main purpose of diving is still fun.
Last part : Open water dives
During your open water dives, you will repeat some skills with your instructor. You will see that after the confined water dives, you will be more confident and comfortable. It will be easier to swim underwater as you already know how to deal with each part of your scuba unit.
