Classroom and Confined-Water Foundation
The course begins with a day of classroom theory followed by confined-water sessions (usually in a pool) where instructors teach and drill the essential diving skills you’ll use in open water.
Four Open-Water Dives — Often on the Manta Tour
On days two and three you complete your four open-water dives from the boat; these dives are typically conducted during the operator’s manta ray interaction tour, offering the chance to snorkel with manta rays.
Worldwide Certification and On-Boat Provisions
Once you complete the four open-water dives you are officially a certified PADI Open Water diver — the certification allows you to dive anywhere in the world; lunch, morning tea and afternoon tea are provided on board during the days at sea.
