Open Water Certification
Complete your training through classroom, pool, and open water dives
Course Overview
Open Water Certification is completed in three parts: academics, pool training, and open water dives. You’ll start with eLearning to cover the basics of diving at your own pace, then move into pool sessions where you’ll practice skills with an instructor. The course finishes with four open water dives, where you apply what you’ve learned in real conditions.
