Description

The most recognised dive certification worldwide, the PADI Open Water Diver is an easily accessible course designed to give you the basic diving skills that will allow you to discover the stunning reefs of the Red Sea.

 

The PADI Open Water course consists of confined water, classroom and open water modules. Completion of the course qualifies you to dive independent of supervision all over the world, with a buddy, to a maximum depth of 18m, within the limits of your training and experience.

If you have already completed the PADI Scuba Diver course, you can upgrade to PADI Open Water Diver with a 2-2.5 day course, consisting of two knowledge development sessions, two confined water dives and two Open Water dives.
