Open Water Diver

Open Water Diver

The Open Water Diver course is the world’s most popular scuba diving program and has served as the first full certification dive course for millions of people around the world – allowing them to explore the wonders lying hidden beneath the waves.During the Open Water course, students learn the fundamentals of scuba diving in a safe and supportive environment. The program is broken down into knowledge development sections, videos, confined underwater sessions for developing skills, and open water dives which take divers for their first long glide along the reefs.Here at Scuba Seekers, we place a heavy emphasis on teaching students the proper foundational techniques of diving right from the start. Each student will also be provided with their own dive computer to use throughout the class. It’s important our students leave the Open Water course feeling confident and comfortable in the water as well as with a deep understanding of the limits of diving in order to dive competently and safely.
