PADI Learn to Scuba DiveWhat is Involved
The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three main phases:
1. The theory for the PADI Open Water course can now be completed online prior to the first day of your course in Phuket. Completing the theory will give you an understanding of basic principles and safety aspects of scuba diving. Having all of the theory finished prior to the first day will also save you 4-6 hours of classroom time, letting you spend more time & focus on skill development.
2. Pool sessions of the PADI Open Water course are an essential component of scuba diving skill development. This typically involves five separate pool dives, with each session focused on specific skills that students need to master before moving on to open water dives. During the pool sessions, students will learn essential skills such as breathing underwater, clearing their mask, and regulating buoyancy. There are approximately 40 skills that students need to learn, and instructors will ensure that students feel comfortable and confident performing each skill before moving on to the next. The controlled environment of the pool provides an excellent opportunity for students to build their scuba diving skills in a safe and comfortable setting.
3. The open water dives are a crucial aspect of the PADI Open Water course, as they allow students to apply the skills they learned during the pool sessions in a real-world setting. To become certified, students must complete a minimum of four training dives, where they will have the opportunity to explore the underwater world and discover the beauty of the ocean. During these dives, students will practice skills such as navigation, buoyancy control, and safety procedures while diving with their instructor. The open water dives provide an excellent opportunity for students to gain practical experience, build their confidence, and develop a deeper appreciation for the underwater world.

My 16yo daughter wanted to learn to dive on our recent holiday in Phuket. You hear the stories of bad experiences so we did our research and ended up choosing Aussie Divers. As a parent, I could not have asked for a better option – their service and support staff, and the whole experience from initial discussions to our final dive days were really top shelf.
