Aimed at travellers wishing to learn to dive and obtain a globally recognised certification , the Open Water course allows you to acquire the essential basics of scuba diving independently , up to 18 metres , with a buddy .
Over 2 to 3 days , the program combines e-learning theory with five progressive dives : a session of technical exercises in a confined environment to assimilate the fundamentals, followed by four dives in the sea to put the acquired skills into practice in real-world conditions. This balanced approach guarantees a structured learning progression adapted to each participant.
Learning takes place in a friendly and reassuring atmosphere , supervised by certified, experienced, and attentive instructors who guide each student at their own pace. Dives are conducted at sites perfectly suited to beginners , offering excellent visibility , clear water, and a safe environment.
Throughout the training, participants benefit from complete, high-end equipment , regularly maintained, ensuring comfort and safety . Upon completion of the course, the internationally valid Open Water certification allows them to dive independently on future trips.
