PADI Open Water Course

Our Learn to Dive Course consists of a theory section and a practical portion. Theory is completed through an interactive web-based program where you will complete your knowledge development online by viewing interactive presentations that include videos, audio, graphics, and reading. Short quizzes let you gauge your progress, and review and correct anything you might happen to miss. This allows you to move through the program efficiently and at your own pace.

You will then join us for the practical side of your course, which can be completed over two or three days, and consists of a pool session and 4 ocean dives. During your time with us, we provide you with all the equipment you will need for the course, as well as transport between our shop, training centre, and dive sites.
