What Will You Learn in the Open Water Course?

The Open Water Course consists of three main parts: theory, confined water training, and open water dives.

​

1. Theory Lessons
   You’ll start by learning the basics of scuba diving theory, including how to use diving equipment, how to plan dives, and how to manage buoyancy, air consumption, and underwater safety. This portion of the course can be completed in a classroom or through online study materials.
