Goal of the course
Within this program, you learn all the necessary skills needed to dive up to 12m deep under the supervision of a certified diving professional. We teach you the right handling of scuba equipment in our pool before you are ready to experience your first open water dives. You will receive access to the PADI e-learning material in advance and can complete the knowledge development sessions online. In this way, you have more time to focus on practical skills while you are in the diving centre. If you want to continue your diving education afterwards, you can start right where you left off in your PADI Scuba Diver course and complete the Open Water Diver certification in only two days
