Open Water Diver

The PADI Open Water Diver course is for the beginner or non-certified diver and will give you all the required knowledge and skills necessary to make your diving safe and fun.

The first two days are devoted to the diving theory and practice, with five academic modules, four short quizzes, five confined water sessions, a 200 meter swim test and the final exam.

The remaining two days conclude with four open water training dives under the direct supervision of your instructor, while allowing you to enjoy the beautiful bay Ammoudi. After completion of the course, you will become certified as an internationally recognized PADI Open Water Diver.

If you’ve always wondered what lies beneath the surface, now’s the time to find out. Start the journey of a lifetime with the PADI Open Water Diver course. It will change you forever.

In the PADI Open Water Diver course, our PADI Instructor takes you through the basics of learning how to scuba dive. You start in pool-like conditions and progress to the open water, getting the background knowledge along the way.

The PADI Open Water Diver course is incredibly flexible and performance based, which means that we at Seadream Divers International can offer the program on a wide variety of schedules, and paced according to how fast you progress. It’s possible to complete your confined and open water dives in as few as four days (provided you take care of reading the manual and watching the video ahead of time).

Number of Dives: Five Confined Water Dives and Four Open Water Dives

Knowledge Development: Five sessions

Prerequisites: 10 years for Junior Open Water Diver and 15 years for Open Water Diver. Good health, reasonable fitness and comfort in the water.

Materials You’ll Need: PADI Open Water Crew-Pak, Log Book.

Equipment you’ll use during the course includes: mask, fins, snorkel, tank, regulator, buoyancy compensator, submersible pressure gauge and exposure protection as required for the local environment.

1. Knowledge Development – This develops your familiarity with basic principles and procedures. You learn things like how pressure affects your body, how to choose the best gear and what to consider when planning dives.

You complete Knowledge Development on your own, reading each of five sections of the PADI Open Water Diver Manual and watching the corresponding section of the PADI Open Water Diver Video (which also previews skills you’ll learn). If you like learning with a personal computer, you can also get the Open Water Diver Manual and Video together as a CD-ROM. You briefly review what you studied in each section with your instructor and take a short quiz to be sure you’re getting it. At the end of the course, you take an exam that makes sure you’ve got all the key concepts and ideas down.

2. Confined Water Dives – This is what it’s all about – diving. You develop basic scuba skills in water with pool-like conditions. Here you’ll learn everything from setting up your gear to how to easily get water out of your mask without surfacing. You’ll also practice some emergency skills, like sharing air – just in case. Plus, you may play some games, make new friends and have a great time.

There are five confined water dives, with each building upon the previous. Over the course of these five dives, you attain the skills you need to dive in open water.

3. Open Water Dives – After your confined water dives, you and the new friends you’ve made continue learning during four open water dives with our PADI Instructor at a dive site. This is where you have fun putting it all together and fully experience the underwater adventure – at the beginner level, of course. You may make these dives near where you live or at a more exotic destination on holiday.
