An excellent and thorough entry level diver qualification. The PADI Open Water Diver rating is the most recognized diver qualification in the world. An excellent and comprehensive course, our goal is that when you have finished the course you will be a competent, confident, safe and above all happy diver. The course is divided into three parts: Confined Water: Conducted at the wonderful location of a beach on the Cap D’Antibes or near Golfe Juan, you will learn over a number of sessions all of the skills necessary to keep you safe underwater. Theory: The theory can now be completed with us in one of two ways. The less preferred option is to post a study kit to you prior to the course. You will read the manual and/or watch the DVD and subsequently complete the five knowledge reviews. When you arrive these will be corrected, with supplementary information and practical applications expanded on by your instructor. When you are ready you will undertake four revision quizzes and then the final exam. This is multiple choice with a pass mark of 75%. Open Water: In this section of the course you get on with the real business of diving proper, with four boat dives. We will repeat a number of the skills from Confined Water, introduce a couple of new ones, and above all concentrate on significant improvements in your buoyancy and breathing. Once you have completed all the performance requirements you become a certified diver, a qualification valid for life assuming you are medically fit to dive. And it is always highly recommended to do a refresher if you have not dived for a few months or more. This course includes three half day confined water sessions, four open water dives, dive tables and logbook. The PADI eLearning is included in the course price.
