Open Water Course (Learn to Dive) £480

 The most popular diving course in the world, the PADI Open Water Diver Course gives you a feeling of freedom that only scuba diving brings. Learning to dive gives you a skill you'll enjoy the rest of your life as you explore the underwater world - from historic shipwrecks and colourful coral reefs teeming with life to the mysteries of your local quarry.

What's Included?
PADI Open Water E Learning
All Kit and Airfills
All Pool Tuition - 6 two hour sessions!
​Entry to our Open Water Site Stoney Cove
4 Open Water dives 
​
The Open Water Course allows you to understand and grasp the basic principles of scuba diving, including diving techniques, underwater skills and diver equipment.

Certification to this level allows you to dive to 18m.

Confined Water Sessions (Swimming Pool)
We get you into the water first before the theory begins. The confined water sessions are split into 5 modules over 6 pool sessions, with new skills being taught on each module so that you learn everything from setting up your gear to how to easily get water out of your mask without surfacing. At the end of each session time is allocated for diver's own practice - practice makes for confidence!  Before you complete the course you will also need to swim 200m and tread water for 10 minutes.  We are in the pool on a Thursday evening at the Cripps Pool in Northampton 7.30 to 9.30pm. 

Knowledge Development
There are 5 modules to the academic part of the course, consisting of knowledge development sessions, quizzes and a final exam with a 75% pass mark. The knowledge development for the course is available as E-learning so you can access it on your phone, tablet or laptop at home and work through it at your own pace.  Once completed you complete a Quick Review with a PADI instructor.  

Open Water Dives
Once classroom and pool work is complete we move to open water for the completion of the course. There are 4 Open Water dives made, over a period of 2 days, where you put into practice skills and knowledge gained in a real world situation. On completion of the 4 dives to a satisfactory standard you will be awarded your Open Water Diver certification and you are a qualified diver!

You must be 10 years or older to undertake this course.
