The Openwater scuba diving course is a combination of online based theory, pool and open ocean dives. You will be trained to dive to a depth of 20 metres and issued with your Openwater Scuba Diver certification which is recognised worldwide.
Prior to starting the course you will need to complete your theory online which will take approximately 3-4 hours to complete. You will be required to complete a theory exam. It is also a requirement that you are able to swim 200 metres (without stopping) and tread water for 10 minutes. You may use any technique to complete this swim and there is no time limit. The practical skills of diving are then covered and practiced in the comfort of the pool [express course skills are done in an ocean pool or other suitable body of water].
To further your skills there are 4 open water training dives. During these ocean dives, you will repeat some of the skills learned in the pool plus additional practical skills to ensure that you are competent Open Water scuba diver. When you have successfully completed all theory and practical sessions, your instructor will sign your log book and student record file. You will then become a certified Scuba Diver. Your certification will be recognised world wide.
You must be considered fit to dive to complete an Openwater Course and may require a dive medical.

Had an amazing experience diving for the first time and fell in love with it immediately. Our diving instructor(s) were very professional and taught us all the necessary skills and made sure we remember everything. The atmosphere was very supportive, relaxed and humorous too. At the end of the course we had some pizza and beers to celebrate our certificates and to bond more with each other. I never even tried diving before but now I’m already dreaming about becoming an instructor. 🤓😁 Thank you PRO DIVE staff! by Tiia Kynsilehto - 20-Mar-2024

I really enjoyed this course. The staff were super friendly and always keen for a joke and a laugh. I had a few stressful moments where I felt I couldn't continue - Ralf did an amazing job at calming me down and getting back into it and loving it. Thanks for a thoroughly eye opening and enjoyable experience. by Bill Weber - 24-Jan-2024

I joined the course with my 16 year old son. We found it physically challenging the first day and particularly when we had the first open water dive. Trying to relax with lots of external conditions is a real challenge on the mind. The instructors all did everything to help us pass. A couple of people didn’t pass because one physically couldn’t swim and another was just not relaxed enough. Because of this I felt they wouldn’t pass us if they thought we didn’t have the potential to continue diving. We all bonded in our groups and the instructors were all very friendly and helpful. Both my son and I had a really good experience overall. We are considering continuing onto the next course and to continue diving together. I would recommend taking the course. by Patricia Ku Bernardo Fleming - 24-Jan-2024

It's amazing how well the program is organised, taking you through every step, one step building upon the other, and with very patient and calm teachers who wisely guide you professionally towards an awesome experience. The experience is not just building physical capabilities and skills, but mentally strengthening, self confidence and more... Highly recommended for anyone who wants to explore the divine beauty of the ocean, and self development. by Basilios Psilacos - 24-Jan-2024

I tried to postpone my course because of my injured shoulder. I got an email saying “ If you need to make any changes, please email bookings@prodive.com”. I did that and got no response. Bare in mind, I got plenty of spam emails from prodive meanwhile, but no reaponse about my course. I lost all money I paid for the course and I was completely ignored by customer support. One of the worst experiences I had with any course I’ve ever taken. by Dominykas Žernys - 20-Sep-2023
