Course Duration:

The PADI Open Water Diver course is student-centered, meaning we go at your pace to ensure thorough understanding and skill development. The minimum duration is 2.5 to 3 days. Although it’s not possible to properly complete the course in just two days, we offer a flexible schedule for optimal learning. Most students opt to add a Shark Dive on the morning after completing the course.

Please remember that, for your safety, you cannot fly for 18 hours after diving.

Learn at Your Own Pace with E-Learning:

To make the most of your holiday, we highly recommend completing your studies in advance through PADI’s e-learning platform, which allows you to enjoy your course from anywhere, even before you arrive. This platform offers a fantastic learning experience with videos and interactive content. It’s far superior to physical manuals as it saves you vacation time, is environmentally friendly, and lets you refresh your knowledge anytime with lifetime access to the videos.

You can choose between:

  • Version 1: Includes videos in your preferred language.

  • Version 2: Includes text with a separate link for videos in English (approximately 2.5 hours).

To get started early, we offer a free taster of the first chapter. Just provide your name, email, and date of birth.

Languages:

Our experienced instructors speak several languages, so if you have a preferred language, let us know!

After Certification:

Once certified, you’ll be able to dive with the iconic thresher sharks and experience some of the most spectacular dives in the world. Additionally, you can join our Shark Dive or take the Advanced Open Water Course to further enhance your diving skills.
