Open Water


Duration: 4 – 5 days

This is a course that most people choose and is the foundation of the PADI system. This certification is for life and will enable you to join guided dives with other qualified divers to the maximum depth of 18 metres (Junior Open Water Divers, maximum depth 12 metres) and is recognised worldwide.

What will I do?

The course begins in the classroom with the PADI DVD and then the knowledge development continues in the open air at the dive centre, where the basic principles and knowledge for safe and enjoyable diving are reviewed and explained by your instructor. You will complete your five confined water dives on our house reef, where in the pool like conditions of the bay you can comfortably master all the underwater skills whilst enjoying the beauty of the Red Sea. The four open water dives, the final two being to a depth of maximum 18 metres, will either be conducted on our house reef or from one of our boats at nearby coastal reefs.

All students must complete a PADI Medical statement, Liability release form and Standard safe diving form prior to starting the course. If the student has any medical condition listed then signed clearance from a diving doctor, valid within 12 months will be required at check-in.
