After you have mastered the skills in confined water, it will be time to take your skills to the ocean and discover this amazing new underwater world!With your new certification, you will now be allowed to explore the seabed at a maximum depth of 18 meters (12 meters for Junior Open Water Divers) and start your scuba diving journey.You will need to complete the theory part and we will provide you with an online manual. We advise you to start studying the theory at home before you arrive on the island: this will help you save time during your holiday and allow you to have more fun diving whilst you are here.
