The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three main sections:
Knowledge Development
Through independent study using the PADI Open Water Manual, watching the PADI Open Water DVDs and short classroom sessions with your instructor, you will complete ‘Knowledge reviews’, quizzes and a final multiple-choice test which confirms understanding of the theory syllabus.
Confined Water basic skills
Five CW sessions are completed in shallow, calm and controlled conditions. Your instructor will carefully explain and demonstrate each skill and you will practice until you have mastered the techniques. A 200m swim & 10 min float is also completed.
