The course is comprised of three phases:

• Knowledge development. This is typically done using PADI online e-learning followed by a review with an instructor.  We can provide classroom study if you prefer.

• Confined (Pool) training. During this phase of the course, you will breathe underwater for the first time and be introduced to all the underwater skills that you need to safely dive in the Ocean.

• Open Water Dives. As mentioned above, the minimum standard is four dives however, we seek to ensure you are absolutely confident a the end of your course so we facilitate six dives, including two boat dives.
