PADI Open Water Course
Before you start the open water course we advise you to do a discover scub dive. that way you already have a ‘taste’ of what diving is all about and you can see whether you like it enough to go;
Did you get excited by all the beauty you saw underwater? then now it’s time to do the open water diver course!
In this course you learn all the skills you need to be underwater safely.
The open water diver course can be planned flexibel. you decide whether you want to do 1 dive a day or 2 dives a day.
Each lesson consists of a theoretical part and a practical part, meaning actually dive after having done some exercises on the surface and underwater :-))
The lessons start in our open-air classroom at the dive center. we teach you a part of the theory and tell you which exercises wer are going to do that day/dive. the exercises will be demonstrated and we also explain to you the importance of every exercise. why do you need to know how to do this exercise, in what situation do you use it? after this we go to the dive ;
together we build up the dive equipment before we enter the water. we do the buddy check to make sure everything is working correctly and then we enter the water. underwater we will show you the exercises again, after which you will be doing them yourselves. your instructor will be watching you closely at all times and offer help where needed. when all the exercises belonging to this dive have been done we do a short fun dive. after all that’s the final goal: enjoy diving in a safe way!
There’s a theoretcial exam at the end of the ;
All our lessons and dives are done in small groups, so with lots of personal attention. 1 on 1 instruction possible. our lessons are done at different dive sites, depending on weather conditions. this way you see more of the island and get more experienced with different conditions. different water entry, currents etc. non-divers in your group can stay at the beach.
