The PADI Open Water course is a modular course made up of 3 parts each can be purchased and undertaken separately with any PADI Dive Centre world-wide.
Part 1. The Open Water e-Learning – During the Open Water e-Learning you will learn the theory and history behind scuba diving explaining why we do things the way we do in order to keep us safe whilst scuba diving. The Open Water e-Learning is undertaken in the comfort of your own home divided into easy sections so that you can pick it up and put it down when it suits you.
Part 2. The Open Water Pool dives – These dives are also known as the confined water dives, over 5 mini dives in our heated pool in Havant we will teach you all the skills needed to make you a safe & confident Open Water Scuba Diver. These dives will normally take place in one or two sessions on a Saturday evening.
Part 3. Once we are happy that you have fully mastered all the skills from the Open Water pool dives we will take you to one of the dive sites where all you have to do is demonstrate the skills you have learnt to your Instructor in 4 dives spread over 2 days.

*Scuba Divers between the age of 10 & 14 will earn the rating of Jr. Open Water Scuba Diver and will be limited to diving with a Parent / Guardian or PADI Professional and will be depth limited to 12m. On their 14th birthday (without doing any further training) they will automatically become full PADI Open Water Scuba Divers and all restrictions will be lifted. Although no further training is officially required, we would suggest either doing our Junior to Adult diver upgrade (where we take them on an informal deep dive to 18m) or the Advanced Open Water Course where they will experience depths up to 30m in a controlled and supervised manor.
