Knowledge Development (online, home study or in a classroom ) to understand basic principles of scuba diving Confined Water dives to learn basic scuba skills Open Water dives to review your skills and explore! To enroll in the PADI Open Diver course you must be at least 10 years old.

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 the pool to practice these skills with your Instructor. Later, as a certified diver, you'll use the course materials as a reference guide for future diving adventures and to review what you've learned.

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 Instructor.
