Components of the Open Water Certification Class
The Open Water certification course consists of three phases; knowledge development, a confined water training session to learn basic scuba skills and four open water dives. Our flexible schedule allows students to complete the course at a speed which suits them. This gives students plenty of time to practice their new skills before earning their certification.
To get your Open Water Scuba certification you must be at least 10 years old and be able to swim. Students younger than 15 will be certified as Junior Open Water Divers and must dive under the supervision of a dive professional or with a certified adult in conditions and environments equivalent to their dive training.
