PADI Open Water - Your Way

Many people describe learning to dive as "Getting My PADI". Most divers will still be able to tell you the name of their Open Water Instructor many years into a life of diving. This course will truly open a new world to you. Join the millions of people who have learned to dive this way.

A PADI Open Water qualification is the worlds most popular and recognised scuba qualification.

The minimum age to start this course is 10 years old, and until the age of 14, this would be a junior rating (depth limits apply).

You do not need to have prior experience, but if you would like some then try a Discover Scuba Diving experience first.
