Let your adventure begin! The PADI Open Water Diver course is the most popular dive program in the world. This is your ticket to a lifetime of adventure, travel, and fun. How Long will it take?

OW Diver programs are scheduled to start each month. Typically this class takes 3 weeks with academic classes twice each week in the evening, pool dives on the weekend evenings, and open water dives scheduled during the last weekend. Our schedules can be very flexible, let us know if you have a conflict and we can often customize a schedule for you.

Class includes 5 academic sessions, 3 pool sessions, 4 open water dives, PADI OW book set, certification fees, and all scuba equipment. Divers must provide their own mask, fins, snorkels – these can be rented or purchased at Splash Down.
