This course teaches you to dive independently, familiarises you with all the scuba equipment (SCUBA), and covers diving theory along with a series of techniques to handle situations independently and safely underwater.
All of these are based on diving standards set by the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO), the Recreational Scuba Training Council (RSTC), and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).
THEORY OF THE OPEN WATER COURSE:
It consists of reading and understanding 6 chapters, supported by videos for enhanced learning, and a knowledge review with a 10-question test at the end of each chapter. Additionally, academic sessions are conducted by the dive instructor.
PRACTICAL WATER TRAINING FOR THE OPEN WATER COURSE:
In this part, you will need to successfully complete over 20 diving exercises in confined water, which can be in a pool or in the sea (under conditions similar to a pool in terms of clarity, calmness, and depth). You will also perform 4 open water dives, progressively increasing depth to a maximum of 18 metres.
