Details
Uncover the mysteries hidden beneath the sea as you qualify to become a PADI Open Water Diver. Get your certification and explore the beauty of Gozo's rich underwater flora and fauna at the same time. Become an independent diver and set yourself up for a potentially long-lasting scuba diving career. Who knows? You might end up as a Dive Master one day.
Goal of the course
The PADI Open Water Diver course teaches you all you need to know about scuba diving, including how to use your equipment, how to move and breathe properly underwater, and how to stay safe. Upon completion of the course, you will be able to dive independently to a depth of 18m, meaning that you don't need a qualified instructor to go scuba diving – only a buddy with a certification of the same level or higher.
Meeting & Preparation
We will send you the access details to the e-Learning programme after you've completed your booking so that you can start learning right away. You will then be able to complete the theoretical portion of the course before you arrive in Gozo. That way you can jump right into the practical part of the course on your first day at our dive centre. The relevant paperwork will also be available to complete within the PADI app you will use to access the e-Learning course. On the first day of your course in Gozo we will meet at our dive centre at 8:30. Then we can check all relevant forms are completed, get to know each other, find your equipment and very quickly you will be in the water learning some key skills!
