 Complete your open water training with four open water (ocean or lake) certification dives. During these dives you will be evaluated on specific skills that you have already learned during the pool session. Successful completion of the 4 training dives will earn you the PADI Open Water certification card. This certification is recognized worldwide.
As a certified PADI Open Water Diver you have the freedom to dive with a buddy independent of a professional. If you already tried a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience or are PADI Scuba Diver certified, check with your instructor to see how credit from these courses may apply to the open water program. Your underwater adventure can begin as soon as today with the new PADI Open Water Diver
DVD & crew pakYou can view these materials at home, at your own pace and then meet with an instructor for further assistance. Open water learning options also include group or private instruction. This course offers tremendous flexibility and lets you work out individual needs with your instructor.
Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can earn a PADI
Open Water Diver certification. At some point in the course, your PADI Instructor will ask you to demonstrate the ability to swim 200 metres/yards without swim aids or 300 metres/yards with mask, fins and
snorkel and complete a bit of paperwork, to get you on your way. If you are between 10 and 14 or have a
child between these ages, there is a PADI Junior Open Water Diver program available.
There is good news for college students interested in getting certified: Now the PADI Open Water Diver
course is recommended for college credit(s) by the American Council on Education (ACE). This program
meets the educational standards and requirements for credit at the college level. Ask your local PADI
office for details on how you can enjoy this fabulous sport AND get a recommendation for college credit!
