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.
A PADI Jr Open Water Diver between the ages of 10 and 12 years may only dive with a
PADI Professional, a certified parent or certified guardian to a maximum depth of 12
metres/40 feet.
What will I do?
Throughout the 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.
