During the PADI Open Water Diver course, you’ll learn what you need to know to explore the underwater world using scuba. Most people find it a rewarding challenge.
The PADI Open Water Diver course includes three parts: Knowledge Development, Confined Water Dives, and Open Water Dives. Knowledge Development covers the principles, concepts and terms you need to know for dive safety and enjoyment. During the Confined Water Dives, you learn and practice scuba skills in shallow water with pool-like conditions. You’ll enjoy making one or more minidives, which take you through the same steps you follow when you make open water dives. To complete training you practice, apply and demonstrate what you learn during four Open Water Dives at our local dive site.
Earning a PADI Open Water Diver certification shows that you met the course requirements. Dive centers and resorts require proof of certification before they will rent scuba equipment, fill scuba cylinders or book dive excursions. As a PADI Open Water Diver, you’ll be trained to a maximum depth of 18 metres/60 feet, and are qualified to dive in conditions as good as, or better than, those in which you trained. It’s just the beginning of a lifetime filled with dive adventures.
What can I expect from my Open Water course with Divers Den?
The Knowledge development is done online with PADI eLearning and allows you to learn and complete that part of the course at your own convenience. No need to spend time in a classroom during your stay in beautiful Tobermory!
After you have completed the theory section at home, you will arrive in picturesque Tobermory, Ontario, ready to meet your instructor and complete the in-water portion of your course.
The course in Tobermory will take 3 days.
The fun part about this course is . . . well, just about all of it because learning to dive is incredible! You breathe under water for the first time (something you’ll never forget) and learn what you need to know to become a certified diver. Your confined and open water dives will be done at our local shore site, the Tugs.
