What you will acquire in your Open Water course

In the Open Water course, you will begin with the fundamentals and progressively enhance your diving skills. This rigorous course is designed to take you from a novice to a self-sufficient diver. If you have previously participated in a scuba diving trial and found it enjoyable, you will find the course even more manageable.

To achieve this, you must acquire a theoretical foundation and develop certain skills in the water, both in the pool and in the ocean.

The course is segmented into three blocks:

  • Theoretical Understanding,
  • Confined Water Activities
  • Open Water Diving.

These are arranged according to specific guidelines; however, the precise sequence and overall duration are contingent upon the operational dynamics of the school, the instructor, the organization, and other factors.
