WHAT DOES THE PADI OPEN WATER DIVER COURSE ONLINE COVER?

The PADI Open Water Diver course is, by far, the worlds most popular scuba certification course. Millions of people have started diving as certified PADI Open Water Divers. Learning to scuba dive requires both knowledge development (facts. principals, concepts) and dive skills (techniques, methods). The PADI Open Water Diver Course online provides the knowledge development portion you need. You develop the remaining skills by actually diving with a PADI Instructor at your local PADI Dive Centre.

WHAT ARE THE PADI OPEN WATER DIVER COURSE PREREQUISITES?

To be certified as a PADI Open Water Diver, you need to be at least 10 years old (this may differ in some Countries), fot for diving and to able to swim. To be able to participate in the PADI eLearning Open Water online programme, you simply need to be at least 10 years old.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

After enrolling, PADI´s eLearning system presents you with interactive presentations that include videos, audio, graphics and reading. Short quizzes let you gauge your progress, and review and correct anything you might happen to miss. This let´s you move through the programme efficiently and at your own pace.

WHAT ELSE IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THE COURSE?

Prior to certification as a PADI Open Water Diver, you will need to visit a PADI Dive Centre to complete your training. You will take a short eLearning Quick Review to confirm your understanding of safety related material from the course, and you must successfully complete the confined water dives and four open water training dives with your PADI Instructor. You learn and master each of the required skills in confined water first before moving on and showing your instructor that you can comfortably repeat those skills in open water. As a PADI Open Water Diver, you will be a certified entry level diver able to rent dive gear, get air fills and dive anywhere in the world in better or similar conditions to those you´ve trained in.

We have many Instructor partners in various parts of the UK that we can put you in contact with or alternatively if you have a preferred PADI dive centre local to you, just print out the completion form and take that along to the PADI Instructor.
