Prerequisites
To enroll in a PADI Open Water Diver course (or Junior Open Water Diver course), you must be 10 years old or older. You need adequate swimming skills and need to be in good physical health. No prior experience with scuba diving is required.
Waterskills: Before completing up the PADI Open Water Diver course, you will have to demonstrate basic water skill comfort by doing:
Swim 200 metres/yards (or 300 metres/yards in mask, fins, and snorkel). There is no time limit for this, and you may use any swimming strokes you want.
Float and tread water for 10 minutes, again using any methods that you want.
The Fun Part
The fun part of this course is . . . well, just about all of it because learning to scuba dive is awesome. You breathe underwater for the first time (something you’ll mark to not forget) and learn what you need to know to become a certified diver. During the course, you will make at least five confined water dives and four dives at local dive sites under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. After this, we will issue you with a card that will allow you to dive with a buddy and unsupervised to 60 feet/18 meters. Want to go deeper after that? Try the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course.
