PADI Open Water Diver Course - Begin your diving journey!

Step 1: Complete Your PADI eLearning

Once you book, we'll assign your PADI eLearning and send you a short video showing how to redeem your unique code. You can study on the PADI app on your phone, tablet or laptop, at your own pace. Most of our students finish in 5 to 8 hours. Our team will guide you on which sections to complete so you're ready to start your water training as soon as possible.

Step 2: Master the Skills in Our DiveTank

Over 2 days, you'll complete 5 confined water dives in the region's largest indoor DiveTank. At 4 metres deep, it's where you'll practise equalising, mask clearing, buoyancy control and the other key diving and safety skills, until they feel like second nature.

Step 3: Take Your Skills Into Open Water

Over the next 2 days, you'll complete 4 open water dives, either as shore dives in Dubai or boat dives in Khorfakkan whichever is most convenient to you. You'll show your instructor the skills you mastered in the DiveTank in real ocean conditions, explore the underwater world and learn to plan your own dives like a certified diver.

Graduation: Congratulations, You're now a PADI Open Water Diver

Once you've completed all required 9 dives, your Instructor will debrief you, review any theory you'd like to go over and present your DiveCampus wall certificate. Your PADI eCard is usually processed within 24 to 48 hours.

If you are not short on time, we recommend training over 4 days of 4 hours each. This is proven to be best course flow for divers of all age groups, it gives you enough time to master all skills without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.

If you are short on days, the course can also be schedule over 2 or 3 days, but this means you will spend longer duration each day to complete the required 9 dives. This is realistic to achieve only if you have completed the PADI eLearning before your training and can invest from 6-9 hours each day depending on the option you choose.

Your course fee includes: PADI eLearning fee, Equipment rental during the course, Guaranteed 1:2 (or less) Instructor to Student Ratio, Male or Female Instructor, 5 Indoor DiveTank (Pool) dives, 4 Ocean Dives (Dubai Shore Dives or Khorfakkan Boat Dives), Refreshments during your boat dives, 10% off on select products to buy your own scuba gear, Dive Insurance during your training worth AED 290 and PADI Open Water Diver eCard (Internationally recognized)
