What will you learn during this

The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three main phases:

  • Knowledge Development (online, independent study or in a classroom) to understand basic principles and theory of scuba diving
  • Confined Water Dives to learn basic diving skills
  • Open Water Dives to use your skills and explore underwater world.

How can you start learning today?

What about Eco-Friendly learning, for example PADI E-Manual?

No paper, no shipping, eco-friendly modern way of learning.


Enroll in the PADI Open Water Diver Online course – PADI’s eLearning option – and you can start learning today. 

PADI Open Water Diver Online gives you the background information you need to dive safely and allows you to study at your own pace through an interactive computer-based program. 


 After you download PADI Open Water Diver eLearning, you don’t need to be online to use it so you can learn anytime, anywhere.


The theory can either be conducted in an online training before or during the course or in a class room training during your dive course. You can go through the learning material at your own pace however it is comfortable for you. We will check your progress together and make sure you got important scuba diving knowledge.


Classical version of the Open Water Diver Manual and Open Water Diver Video is also available.

Pool Training

Your smooth transition to the underwater world starts right here. With 5 confined water sessions you will have time to adapt,  relax and raise your comfort and skill level in the water during the pool training.

Open Water Training

This is the most exciting part of the course where you will fully experience the beauty of diving and the underwater environment, by applying all what you have learned in the theory and pool training of this dive course.


Four dives on the different dive sites, different dive profiles and dive conditions. My goal, as your diving instructor, is to give you most useful and enjoyable experience, fully prepare you for real world of diving where you will continue to learn how to interact with underwater world as a diver.

PADI Open Water Diver certification is recognised worldwide and has no due expiry date, which opens for you limitless choice of diving locations in the future.


How deep you can dive with

Open Water Diver certification ?


Your PADI Open Water certification allows you to dive to 18m maximum depth with a buddy of equal or greater experience, in conditions that are equal to or as good as (or better than) those in which you learned to dive. Children aged 10-14 years can earn the PADI Junior Open Water Diver certification. Certified Junior Open Water Divers aged 10-12 years may dive to 12m maximum depth.

Your PADI certification

As you are eco-friendly and environmentally aware diver, when all requirements of the course are met, I would offer to you to process your certification  directly through the PADI online processing centre (instead of envelope version by mail). 


In that case you will receive temporary  certification card by email straight away.

Next step for you would be to download a PADI app to get access to your PADI eCard
