Now is the time to dive into the PADI Open Water Diver course, the most popular dive program in the world!
WHY PADI OPEN WATER?
As a certified PADI Open Water Diver, the most widely recognized and respected rating in the world, you have the
freedom to dive with a buddy independent of a professional. If you already tried a PADI Discover Scuba Diving
experience or are PADI Scuba Diver certified, check with your instructor to see how credit from these courses may
apply to the open water program.
WHAT DO I NEED TO START?
Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can earn a PADI Open Water Diver
certification. You must be older than the age of 14 to begin the PADI Open Water Diver program.
WHAT WILL I DO?
Throughout the course, you’ll learn fundamentals of scuba diving, including dive equipment and techniques.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
PADI programs are performance based. You proceed as you demonstrate mastery of the course skills. This allows you to
work at a pace that is comfortable for you. Open Water Courses Normally take 2-3 days.
CONTINUING THE ADVENTURE
Continuing the adventure is one of the best moves you can make. The PADI Adventures in Diving, PADI Specialty Diver and
PADI Rescue Diver programs have some great benefits.
By going beyond Open Water Diver, you can:
• Learn additional skills specific to your interests
