Open
Water Diver
PADI Open water Diver course consists of three segments: Confined
Water, Knowledge Development and Open Water session.
PADI Open Water Diver course has been restructured and reformatted
to reflect essential changes:
- The confined open water section is now
before the knowledge development segment,
to reinforce the dive first approach.
- Confined water dive one is now identical
to the discover scuba diving
water skill development session.
This allows student divers to receive certification
credit for the training and diving completed in the PADI discover
scuba diving program.
- Open water dive one becomes primarily
a "learning through experience" dive
to excite and motivate student divers. The essential skills
are needed for every dive performed
by the student divers while diving versus formally "demonstrating
skills".
