Open Water – Private Course

Dive CoursesLearn To Dive

The Open Water Diver course is the world’s most popular dive program, globally recognised and illustrates that you have met all the course requirements to dive in open water.

This is where dive certification begins and gives you a ticket to a lifetime of underwater adventure. 

Our course is based on students taking an online class (e-learning) prior to commencing the in-water training sessions, which is typically scheduled over the course of three days. A two-day course schedule is also available upon request.

The Open Water Diver course consists of three main phases: 

+ Home Based Study: Online knowledge Development (e-learning materials) to understand basic principles of scuba diving

+ Day 1: Confined Water Dive (1 dive) to learn basic scuba skills 

+ Day 2 & 3: Open Water Dives (4 dives in total) to use your skills and explore 

Start your course today, and once you have completed your e-learning, we will contact you to confirm dive dates.

DAY 1 – CONFINED WATER TRAINING (POOL OR CONFINED LOCATION WITH POOL LIKE CONDITIONS)

The confined training is where you learn basic scuba skills in a controlled environment. Once you are comfortable in this confined environment with all your scuba skills, then it is time to move into the open water – this is where the real scuba diving action begins!

DAY 2 & 3 – OPEN WATER SESSIONS

This is where your OZDIVE instructor will take you into the open water and you will complete at least four open water dives. Everything that you learnt and experienced in the confined session will now be experienced in the open water. After successful completion of your open water training dives, you will become a certified open water diver!
