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. The equipment you will wear varies somewhat depending upon whether you’re diving in tropical, temperate, or cold water.
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 a pool (or a pool-like environment) to practice these skills with your instructor. Later, as a certified diver, you will use the course materials as a reference guide for future diving adventures and to review what you have learned if you don’t dive for some time.
