  Course content:  

There are four major parts of the PADI Open Water Diver program; self study, pool training, knowledge review/exam and ocean dives.

Self study:
Before your class begins, please complete the study of all PADI training materials. You have the choice between PADI online eLearning or the PADI Open Water Diver Book/DVD (Crew-Pak).

  • Online eLearning:
    • PADI eLearning makes it easy to fit scuba lessons into a busy schedule. Learn about scuba diving principles and terminology whenever, wherever it's convenient for you.
    • Take the online exam. After passing the exam, please print out the PADI training eRecord page.
    • eLearning time commitment: 5-10 hours
    • Order online
  • Book/DVD(Crew-Pak):
    • Please read all 5 sections of the book and finish the knowledge review questions at the end of each section.
    • Please watch the PADI open water diver DVD. (The final paper exam also includes the content from the DVD)
    • After completing all five knowledge reviews in each section, kindly detach the corresponding pages from the book and submit them to your instructor. PADI mandates the submission of original copies of the knowledge review pages for certification.
    • Book/DVD time commitment: 8-12 hours
    • Pay and pick up at the store

Pool training:
This is a hands-on session. Your instructor will demonstrate the required skills and watch you repeat the same skills in the swimming pool. The completion of all skills requires two days, with three hours of pool time each day.

Knowledge review/exam:
There is a classroom lecture from your instructor. Your instructor will emphasize on the most important topic of scuba diving again. If you have any question during your self study, this is a good time to ask the instructor. After the lecture, there is a final test for all the students.

  • eLearning students: One quick review test
  • Book/DVD students: There are 4 knowledge review tests and a final exam

Ocean dives:
As a referral student, you'll complete your four mandatory ocean dives with a different PADI instructor at the location of your choosing. Certification will be awarded upon successful completion of these four ocean dives. We'll transfer all your pool and exam training records to your ocean instructor.
