COURSE DETAILS

PADI Open Water Course in Amed Details

Before you come and visit us you will complete the theory part of the course with videos and online manual, this will save you time on your holiday as you can get started with the practical stuff right away when you arrive!

When you arrive your 3 day Open Water Course will continue something like this below.

Not enough time to complete the theory before you visit us? In these cases you will need to finish off the theory on the 1st day, and then the rest of the course can be completed on days 2-4.

Once you pay your deposit we will send you the online manual and access to the course videos. Watch the videos and complete the Knowledge Reviews and Quizzes before you come and your course will take just 3 days!
There are 5 pool sessions that will ease you into the fundamentals of diving, from your first breaths under water until planning and diving your own mini dive. You will learn essential scuba skills that will prepare you adequately for your open water dives.
There are 4 Open Water Dives, at the beginning of each one you will redo some of the scuba skills that you learnt in the pool. After the skills its just fun-diving on the dive site to practice your diving skills and enjoy the beauty of the dive site. The schedule in Amed is very flexible and your first 2-3 days will be spent with a mixture of Theory (if not done online beforehand), Pool Sessions and  2 Open Water Dives. On the last day you’ll leave the center about 8am for 2 dives, and return around 12.30pm. Snacks, water & coffee/tea are provided during the surface interval. An afternoon dive can also be scheduled at 2,30pm if you want to take your new skills and go for a fun dive!
You will finish off every day by logging any dives with your instructor, and reviewing the sightings in our fish-id books. Beers and cocktails are also readily available after your diving!

PADI eLEARNING

Full PADI eLearning Option

Instead of completing the theory using the videos and online manual, we can provide the full PADI eLearning option – this still involves the manual and knowledge reviews etc, but is created as a more integrated learning option. There will be an extra cost for this and you will still need 3 days to finish the course once you are here. Please contact us for more information.

Different people learn best in different ways and the full eLearning covers all the bases!
