Why PADI Open Water?
What are the prerequisites?
Virtually anyone 10 years or older who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can earn a PADI Open Water Diver certification. 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 Jr. Open Water Diver between the ages of 10 and 12 years may only dive with a PADI Professional, a certified parent or certified guardian to a maximum depth of 12 meters/40 feet
- Anyone under the age of 15 doing PADI eLearning will be required to participate in the full duration of the classroom session
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?
We estimate your individual learning time will take between 5-10 hours. Typically class and pool work are completed in one weekend, followed by 4 open water dives over another weekend. Where is the pool located?
