Open water - SILVER
open water plus enriched AIR EXPERIENCE
Now is the time to dive into the
PADI Open Water Diver course, the most popular dive program in the
world! This is your ticket to a lifetime of intense adventure with
PADI, the dive company that sets the standards in the global diving
community. |
Why PADI
Open Water?
As a certified PADI Open Water Diver, the most widely
recognized and respected rating in the world, you have the freedom
to dive with a buddy independent of a professional. If you already
tried a PADI
Discover Scuba Diving experience or are PADI
Scuba Diver certified, check with your instructor to see how
credit from these courses may apply to the open water program. With
our Silver package you also get the chance to dive on
Enriched Air. There are many
advantages to Enriched Air Diving, ask your instructor for more
information or feel free to contact us. |
What do I
need to start?
Virtually
anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the
water can earn a PADI Open Water Diver certification. If you are
between 10 and 14 or have a child between these ages, there is a
PADI Junior Open Water Diver program available.
|
What will
I do?
Throughout the open water course, you’ll learn fundamentals of scuba diving,
including dive equipment and techniques. You earn this rating by
completing five pool dives and knowledge development sessions and by
making four open water (ocean or lake) dives. |
How long will it take?
PADI programs are performance based. You proceed as you demonstrate mastery of
the course skills. This allows you to work at a pace that is comfortable for
you. |
|
How much does it cost?
At
Wrecks and Reefs, we offer two programs with different price bands to help suit
your needs and budget:

further assistance and to continue with pool and open water sessions. You will be in a
class of no more than 4 students to ensure quality instruction. All materials
are included in this course.

Private - £475 FULLY INCLUSIVE
As
with the Standard course we will send you a crew pack to view at home, at your
own pace. An instructor will then come to your home at a time and date
convenient to you. All instruction will be on a one to one basis. Ideal for
couples wishing to learn together or for those of you with busy lifestyles
and/or families.

What is included in the price?
Courses are conducted over two weekends usually consisting of two pool sessions
and two open water sessions (9 dives in all) with some classroom work. On
booking the course we will send you a crew pack where you will need to do some
home study before coming along, but don't worry, anything you don't understand
will be covered by your instructor in the classroom sessions. We strongly
believe in performance based not time based teaching so if you need more time in
the pool that is no problem at all.
Both
course fees includes crew pack, DVD, equipment hire, instruction and certification.
Extras include entry to the dive
site (approx. £ 6.00 - £10.00 depending on location per day for two
days). |
