Open Water Diver

Open Water Diver

The Open Water Diver certification is your foundational step into the underwater world, providing the essential skills and knowledge to dive independently with a buddy to a maximum depth of 18 meters or 60 feet. This comprehensive course covers three main phases including knowledge development through online or classroom study, basic skill practice in a pool or confined water, and four open water dives to apply your training in a natural environment. The program typically spans three to four days and includes all digital learning materials, certification processing fees, professional instruction, and a full rental of essential equipment such as a BCD, regulator, wetsuit, weights, and tanks. Training consists of one day dedicated to confined water sessions followed by two days of boat open water dives. To ensure safety and personalized attention, we maintain a strict ratio of maximum two students per instructor.
