About your Open Water course
This is your passport to the amazing underwater world! Once completed, your internationally recognised certification allows you to dive with any qualified diver to a maximum of 18 metres. The course duration is three or four days as we understand that each individual learns at a different pace and that some skills and techniques may take a little more practice to reach a comfortable and confident level. The course consists of five theory and five pool sessions plus four open water dives. This course will teach you a range of skills, which will enable you to dive in a safe and enjoyable environment as a buddy pair. Equipment is usually included for the course duration.
Please note that all those taking the SSI Open Water course or the PADI e-learning course will need to purchase a e-learning study materials.

In order to participate in an Open Water course, you need to complete a medical questionnaire to ensure you are fit to dive. If the answer to any of the questions is 'yes' you will need to obtain a letter from a doctor confirming that you are fit to dive. We recommend that you review this medical assessment in advance of booking your holiday.
