OWD Course...the classic
This course certifies you to dive to a depth of 18 meters worldwide without being accompanied by a dive instructor.
Training Components:
Online Theory
Indoor Pool Training
Open Water Training
We offer you scuba training at the highest level and in accordance with SSI’s strict quality standards (RSTC-certified, recognized worldwide). Our own
quality assurance programs and those of the associations ensure that you receive training
that will actually enable you to dive, rather than just
granting you certification to do so after the course. We take the time to work individually with
our students and practice with you until you’ve mastered the skills and
feel confident.
We
have everything under one roof, and we have instructors available every day to
practice with you. There’s no time pressure, whether during pool
or open-water training. You can complete your theory training online
from home. Your instructor will monitor your progress and can
help you if you run into any problems. Our rental equipment is
state-of-the-art, and during your course you’ll be provided with gear
that fits you—which you can also rent from us after the course
to practice.
THEORY:
You
will learn the theory through self-study and at your own
pace. Before the OWD open-water dives, you must have passed the theoretical
exam. Don’t worry—if you
pay close attention during the
pool training and read the course materials carefully,
the exam won’t be a major hurdle. If you still have any
questions, your dive instructor will be there to offer advice and support.
PRACTICE:
The practical training is divided into two areas:
Pool:
During
the pool training, you’ll learn all the basic practical
skills you need for your future as a diver. The
pool training is divided into several modules.
The pool dives are usually spread over 2 days; a weekend is often the best option for this.
The
total diving time during pool training is at least 3.5
hours. For theory lessons, equipment training, and pre- and
post-dive briefings, add approximately 3–4 hours per day.
This means you’ll spend at least 6–8 hours per pool training day with us at Divers – Indoor.
Open Water:
We
conduct 4 open-water dives. Even though it might sound a little strange,
we’re allowed to conduct Open Water Dives 1 and 2 here at Divers –
Indoor under optimal conditions. If you’d
prefer to do Open Water Dives 1 and 2 at a lake or in the ocean,
please let your future dive instructor know so they can
plan it with you.
Minimum dive time per dive: 30 minutes (taking into account your well-being and the water and ambient temperatures)
Open Water Dives
Dives 3 and 4 are conducted in a lake or the ocean. Here, you’ll
apply what you’ve learned in real diving conditions.
Minimum dive time per dive: 30 minutes (taking into account your well-being and the water and ambient temperatures)
IMPORTANT!
We want you to be able to dive safely, so there may be times
when we need to extend the course if we believe it is necessary
. You should feel confident after the course and enjoy diving
