The PADI Scuba Diver (SD) and PADI Open Water Diver (OWD) start together. Because the PADI Scuba Diver (minimum age 10 years) is only a part of the Open Water Diver (minimum age 10 years), the PADI Scuba Diver (SD) is finished on the third day with only 2 open water dives.
The course participant also receives an internationally recognized brevet for this course. However, he is limited regarding the diving depth (max. 12 meters). He always needs a diving professional at his side when diving. This can lead to additional costs.
This course is an ideal introduction for all those who are not quite sure about the subject or have less time available on holiday. Since both courses have the same start, you can easily upgrade from Scuba Diver to OWD during the course. The missing course day can easily be rebooked on site. This way you will receive a full PADI Open Water Diver certification upon completion.
A special feature we offer is that every Scuba Diver student can complete the theory of the OWD course. This will be certified and can be credited in a later OWD training.
