PADI OPEN WATER DIVER COURSE

Sometimes there is this kind of feeling where you want to join all the fishes underwater. You have tried snorkeling before and decided to try diving. I believe you know how it feels and yeap, going underwater is far more better than just swimming on the surface – for some people. And if you feel you want to do more than just trying the diving and you want to explore the deep, then you must take the PADI Open Water course and join your friends to go underwater in warm water Bali Ocean!

You might ask what is the differences between the regular Try Diving with the Open Water Course, well, it’s different indeed. On the Open Water course, we will learn further about scuba diving. starting with the equipment introduction, the buoyancy skill, all the diving knowledge that we need while we are underwater. All of them are important if you want to begin your adventure as an independent diver. The point is, having fun and serious at the same time 🙂

By the way, the depth that we can reach after the course is actually different based on the diver’s age. For example, the maximum depth for a minimum of 10 years old is 12 meters – this is called the Junior Open Water diver. And if you reach 13 years old, then you can reach a maximum of 18 meters. We can go diving in any dive site in the world, with a dive guide on our side.

In this section, the instructor will help you to transform all the knowledge that we learn previously, into the necessary skills that will use while doing the Open Water diving. Now, let’s say we have done both of the sections… finally, we will roll into the final step!
