Here's where it all begins. You'll enter as a landlubber and finish as a PADI Open Water diver. You have the option of either weeknight or weekend classes, whatever fits your schedule. Or if you are really busy we will schedule a private class for you. We run classes year round so call us to reserve a spot in the next one! Either call us, come in, or Register for e-learning through PADI Please keep in mind that there is a separate charge for the optional e-learning in addition to the regular class price

Prerequisites
To enroll in the PADI Open Diver course or Junior Open Water Diver course, you must:

  • Be 12 years or older

The Fun Part

The fun part about this course is . . . well, just about all of it because learning to dive is incredible. You breathe underwater for the first time (something you’ll never forget) and learn what you need to know to become a certified diver. During the course, you’ll make at least five pool dives and four dives at local dive sites under the supervision of your PADI Instructor.

The Scuba Gear You Use

In the PADI Open Water Diver course, you learn to use basic scuba gear including a dive computer, and standard accessories.

Check with us about the gear you’ll use during this course. You can find most everything at the Divers Cove.

The Learning Materials You Need

PADI offers a variety of home-study materials for the Open Water Diver course. While eLearning is the most convenient option, you may also chose a book and DVD package or a multimedia DVD-ROM.

PADI’s Open Water Diver materials cover what you need to know about basic scuba diving skills, terminology and safety procedures. For each concept you’ll read a description and watch a video demonstration. Then you’ll jump in the pool (or pool-like environment) to practice these skills with your instructor. Later, as a certified diver, use the course materials as a reference guide for future diving adventures and to review what you learned. 

Note: Enroll in the PADI Open Water Diver Course Online for immediate computer-based access to the manual and video integrated into seamless, guided online learning.
