The Openwater scuba diving course is a combination of online based theory, pool and open ocean dives. You will be trained to dive to a depth of 20 metres and issued with your Openwater Scuba Diver certification which is recognised worldwide.
Prior to starting the course you will need to complete your theory online which will take approximately 3-4 hours to complete. You will be required to complete a theory exam. It is also a requirement that you are able to swim 200 metres (without stopping) and tread water for 10 minutes. You may use any technique to complete this swim and there is no time limit. The practical skills of diving are then covered and practiced in the comfort of the pool [express course skills are done in an ocean pool or other suitable body of water].
To further your skills there are 4 open water training dives. During these ocean dives, you will repeat some of the skills learned in the pool plus additional practical skills to ensure that you are competent Open Water scuba diver. When you have successfully completed all theory and practical sessions, your instructor will sign your log book and student record file. You will then become a certified Scuba Diver. Your certification will be recognised world wide.
You must be considered fit to dive to complete an Openwater Course and may require a dive medical.

Had an amazing experience diving for the first time and fell in love with it immediately. Our diving instructor(s) were very professional and taught us all the necessary skills and made sure we remember everything. The atmosphere was very supportive, relaxed and humorous too. At the end of the course we had some pizza and beers to celebrate our certificates and to bond more with each other. I never even tried diving before but now I’m already dreaming about becoming an instructor. 🤓😁 Thank you PRO DIVE staff! by Tiia Kynsilehto - 20-Mar-2024
