PADI OPEN WATER DIVER CLASS

This class is the start of your adventure underwater. 

Learning how to dive can take as little as three days, or as many days as you wish. An average class could be from 20-30 hours.

There are three parts to the class, knowledge development, skills development and open water dives.

The knowledge development part of the class can be done completely by self study using DVD and book or Interactive CD Rom. You then meet with your instructor to review the material and answer any questions you might have.

The confined water section is where you learn the skills to dive. This can be done in a pool, or shallow open water. There is no time limit for this section.

The open water section is 4 dives. This is done over a minimum of two days.

The class starts out with an orientation session with your instructor; this could be by email, phone or preferably in person. A schedule will be mapped out and all questions answered.

There is no upper age limit to learning how to dive. The minimum age is 10.

Barbara has taught many people in their 60's and even 70's. As long as you are reasonably fit you can try this adventure.
