SCUBA Diving | Basic and Advanced, Specialized training.
FLED/DiveCenter @ Swimming Pool |
PADI® Open Water Diver is the first scuba certification level. A highly-trained PADI Instructor will teach you how to scuba dive in a relaxed, supportive learning environment. Open Water Diver lets you experience the amazing life beneath and discover new adventures. You will learn to be confident and skilled diver, assemble and use scuba gear, manage your buoyancy, respectfully approach marine life, and a lot more. For this level expect shallow dives (12m/40ft, the maximum allowed depth is 18m/60ft.
By the end of the course, you'll have the skills and knowledge to dive at home or abroad and be an ambassador for the underwater world.
This course requires both knowledge development and inwater training for certification.
There will be an additional cost to complete your certification with a PADI Instructor. The cost depends on class size, location, and whether or not you need to rent equipment.
We recommend students to provide their own mask, fins and snorkel. If you already own a mask, snorkel and/or fins, bring them to your instructor before your first inwater session. Some snorkeling masks and fins are inadequate for scuba diving.
Basic scuba gear, including a regulator, buoyancy control device (BCD), dive computer and cylinder, may or may not be included with the inwater training cost.
You may also need to buy or rent exposure protection (wetsuit or drysuit) depending on the diving environment.
After you finished with Open Water Diver, you may proceed the Advanced Open Water Diver course, to improve you navigation and buoyancy skills while you try new activities like wreck diving, night diving, or digital imaging. An Advanced Open Water Diver certification also opens the door to dive sites deeper than 18m/60ft.
If you haven't dive for six months (or longer), you can quickly refresh the knowledge and skills you learned in Open Water with the PADI ReActivate® program. Your PADI certification never expires, but after a long period of inactivity, you may want to brush up on diving fundamentals and safety procedures.
