The Open Water Diver PADI course takes a minimum of 4 half-days including :

5 Dives to learn basic scuba skills from either a beach or a pool - Open Water Dives
4 experience dives from either the boat or shore to a maximum depth of 18 meters.
You can get started immediately with the knowledge development portion of the course and work at your own pace using the innovative interactive system PADI eLearning®.
Our experience shows that the digital versions of the manual are preferable because they allow the student:
- to start to study at home at his own pace;
- to optimize the time with the instructor;
- to dedicate more time to in-water practice;
- freeing up valuable pleasure time during the stay.
If you only have two days for training but you really want to become a certified diver, the PADI Scuba Diver course is right for you !
