Two modalities of Theory:
PADI Open Water with E-learning:
You can do the PADI E-learning theory online and complete it from the comfort of your home in a very easy way. This way you will have more free time to enjoy your vacation. You will be able to access your course from the PADI app that works on all Android and Apple devices.
Once you have made your reservation we will send you a personal verification code and instructions. This way you can start studying in advance at home, during the trip to Alicante, Santa Pola, Torrevieja, on the beach or wherever you want. This alternative eliminates much of the classroom time and you will be able to finish the course in less than 3 full days.
PADI Open Water with manual:
If you choose the PADI course with manual option you must pick up the PADI Open Water book at our dive center in Santa Pola (Alicante). Then you have to read the first three chapters before going to the theory class with your Instructor. The theory lasts more or less 1 day.
Practical part of the course:
Confined water session:
During the first day of the Open Water course you will meet your dive instructor and familiarize yourself with the diving equipment. The next step is to start the confined water training (in the pool or shallow sea in calm waters in Santa Pola, Alicante or Torrevieja).
During the confined water dive you will learn everything you need to know about the equipment, what to do underwater and best of all, the feeling of breathing like a fish. Your PADI Instructor will explain several exercises that you will later practice underwater. The confined water session can be completed in a morning or afternoon.
Open water dives:
When you have completed the confined water session you can continue with the open water dives. In total you will do 4 open water dives in the sea. This is done in two days of fun, discovering the amazing underwater world with your Instructor.
You will put into practice the exercises you previously learned in confined water. You will also learn how scuba equipment works, how to breathe and move underwater, buoyancy, safety procedures and much more!
