Description

Itinerary

Our Open Water Dive course consists of 3 days of training. Day 1 is conducted in the confined waters of a swimming pool where you will learn the skills of scuba diving. Day 2 is taken in the ocean to practice and perfect these skills already learnt. Day 3 is completing the final dives in the ocean to finish off your course.

Theory is taken online, at your convenience and in your own language prior to starting the pool sessions. Once you have provided us with the booking forms we will have your dive gear ready when you show up at the pool.

Day 1 starts with a few swim tests to ensure you can swim, then the learning begins.

Day 3 we meet at our dive centre at 08.30 and head to the dive site to finish your final 2 dives in the ocean. Once you have earned your certification, it will be processed and supplied to you.
