If you’ve always wanted to learn how to scuba dive, discover new adventures or simply see the wondrous world beneath the waves, this is where it starts. With your PADI Instructor, you will cover the fundamentals of scuba diving, including dive equipment and techniques. During this diving course you will complete five confined water (in our amazing oceanfront, horizon edge pool) dives and knowledge development sessions.
So why learn to Dive with us and with PADI? Well: Easy Answer! The PADI Open Water Diver course is the world’s most popular scuba course, and has introduced millions of people to the adventurous diving lifestyle. This is first certification level and can serve as a step-up to many types of exciting and adventurous types of diving! And believe us… learning to dive in Fiji and with Pro Dive Taveuni is simply so much fun…
As a certified PADI Open Water Diver you have the freedom to dive with a buddy independent of a professional. If you already tried a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience or are PADI Scuba Diver certified, you may get credit from these courses to the open water programme. Your underwater adventure can begin as soon as today with our E-learning system… so you can learn even before you arrive to Taveuni (prettty cool don’t you think?)
The fun part about this course is that learning to dive is incredible. You breathe underwater for the first time (something you’ll never forget) and learn what you need to know to become a certified diver. During the course, you’ll make at least five pool dives and four dives at local dive sites under the supervision of your PADI Instructor, and you will discover why Taveuni is simply the GEM of Scuba divers worldwide.
Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can earn a PADI open water diver certification. During your course, your PADI Instructor will ask you to demonstrate the ability to swim 200 meters/yards without swim aids or 300 meters/yards with mask, fins and snorkel and complete paperwork, to get you on your way to scuba. If you are between 10 and 14 or have a child between these ages, there’s a PADI junior open water diver program available.
Knowledge development establishes the principles and basic information that all divers need to have fun diving safely. It’s divided into 5 bite sized segments that you’ll complete primarily on your own time or in the classroom alone by using the PADI Open Water manual and video to guide you. For each segment your instructor reviews and elaborates on the material, applying what you’re learning to your specific needs and the local dive environment. A short quiz at the end of each section in the manual confirms that you have picked up the information that you need from that section.
