PADI OPEN WATER DIVER (OW)
The PADI Open Water Diver (OW) course is a more comprehensive introduction to diving and includes three parts: Knowledge Development, Confined Water Training, and Open Water Dives.
Knowledge Development covers the principles, concepts, and terms you need to know for dive safety and enjoyment. During 5 Confined Water training sessions, you will learn and practice scuba skills in a pool or water with pool-like conditions. This gives you the ability and confidence to complete your training with 4 Open Water dives. Open Water is where it all comes together and at a local dive site you will practice, apply, and demonstrate what you learned in the classroom and in confined water.
To earn a PADI Open Water Diver certification you will pass a theory exam and display mastery of the required skills in both confined and open water. As a PADI Open Water Diver, you’ll be trained to a maximum depth of 18 meters and are qualified to dive in conditions as good as, or better than, those in which you trained.
Dive centers and resorts require proof of certification before they will rent scuba equipment, fill scuba cylinders or book dive excursions.
As DAN associated dive center, all of our Open Water Diver course students also receive free DAN diving insurance during the course which includes up to 25,000USD coverage.
This option includes PADI Open Water Diver eLearning Lite (No videos) material, which is just a simple digital version of the PADI Open Water Diver manual. So if the student has any questions during reading, he/she will need to wait until coming here to discuss it with their instructor.
Full eLearning Option Available
3 – 4 days / Php22,500
Full PADI Open Water Diver eLearning has a lot more information than the Lite, it is designed for student’s independent study of the theory without the presence of an instructor. So this is perfect for students who want to finish all of the theory thoroughly by themselves before coming.
Don’t have enough time but still want to get certified? Maybe Scuba Diver Course is the option for you.
