Now is the time to dive into the PADI Open Water Diver
course, the most popular dive program in the world! This
is your ticket to a lifetime of intense adventure with
PADI, the dive company that sets the standards in the
global diving community.
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.
For those of you who are not above the age of 14 and
would like to participate in the PADI Open Water Diver
Program, then the PADI Jr Open Water Diver program is
available to you. If you are between 10 and 14 or have
a child between these ages, there is a PADI Junior Open
Water Diver program available.
A PADI Open Water Diver between the ages of 10 and
11 years may only dive with a PADI Professional, a certified
parent or certified guardian to a maximum depth of 12
metres/40 feet.
What will I do?
Throughout the course, you’ll learn fundamentals of
scuba diving, including dive equipment and techniques.
You earn this rating by completing five pool dives and
knowledge development sessions and by making four open
water (ocean or lake) dives.
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.
