Open Water Diver – 1st level

Excited to explore the blue planet? The Open Water Diver course shows you the way.

Within 4 days, the Open Water Diver certification course teaches you to dive independently with a buddy to a maximum depth of 18 meters.
Moreover, your certification is recognised worldwide and valid for life. This course is considered as the 1st level of the Scuba Diving ladder.

At first, you start by reviewing the scuba diving theory. This can either be completed online before your arrival or on the premises in the Eco2 Diving classroom. However, most people prefer the online solution to make the most out of their holiday.

Then, once the theory is finished, you are ready for your training sessions. The 5 confined open water sessions are performed over day 1 and 2 in a swimming pool for perfectly calm conditions. As a result, you easily master all required skills and ensure you are fit for the ocean.

At last, the next 2 days are spent completing your 4 open water dives. In the morning of day 3, you complete 2 dives on our world-class muck dive. The astonishing marine life keeps you entertained once a few skills have been accomplished. In the morning of day 4, you embark on our boat for a  2-dive trip to experience some of our incredible local dives.
Finally, you are now a certified Open Water Diver.

Briefly, the Open Water Diver certification is the first step for beginner divers to dive the world and explore our big blue planet.

Below 15 years-old, you may qualify for a Junior Open Water Diver with specific adaptations.
