four dives at local dive sites under the supervision
of your PADI Instructor.

and standard accessories. The equipment you wear varies
somewhat, depending upon whether you’re diving in tropical,
temperate or cold water

the gear you’ll use during this course. You can find
most everything at the scuba diving shop in your area.
The Learning
Materials You Need
PADI offers a variety of home-study materials
for the Open Water Diver course. While eLearning is
the most convenient option, you may also chose a book
and DVD package or a multimedia DVD-ROM.
PADI’s Open Water Diver materials cover
what you need to know about basic scuba diving skills,
terminology and safety procedures. For each concept
you’ll read a description and watch a video demonstration.
Then you’ll jump in the pool (or pool-like environment)
to practice these skills with your instructor. Later,
as a certified diver, use the course materials as a
reference guide for future diving adventures and to
review what you learned.
