Details
Our PADI Open Water Diver course in Paphos gives you all the keys to becoming a certified and autonomous diver! Accessible to beginners from 10 years old, you will discover the beauty of the sea bed, with our certified instructors. They will share with you all their knowledge and will accompany you during each step of the training: from theory to practice in confined waters and in open water, they will ensure your safety. You will learn how to use your equipment, breathe and move underwater.
In groups of 6 people maximum per instructor, you will set out to conquer the seabed of the wonderful island of Cyprus. Accompanied by glittering fish such as dreamfish or rock mullet, if we are lucky, you will discover the many colours that form this new world that is offered to you! The PADI Open Water Diver Course qualifies you to:
- Dive to a maximum depth of 18 metres/60 feet
- Plan and execute dives with a certified buddy
- Rent or buy diving equipment in dive centres worldwideProgramme- eLearning:
Your course will only last 3 days. If so, after the booking, we will send you a link and your access details to the platform, so you can complete the course in advance. Please bring the confirmation slip to the dive centre on the first day of the course.
- Kick-off:
We meet at the booked time in our diving centre in Paphos. There are free car parks nearby if you are coming by car.
Once you arrive, you will be introduced to your instructor. You must have completed the theory in advance and be prepared for a quiz from your instructor. Once this occurs, you will learn about the equipment and begin the skill session in our swimming pool. After the lunch break, you will complete your first dive in the sea.
At the end of the diving days, we will always get back to the diving centre, where you can get back to your car.Course content
