Diving Course: Open Water Scuba Diver
The Open Water Scuba Diver course is perhaps the most important in the sport of diving, as it teaches students how to breathe underwater, understand their buoyancy, and use equipment they’ve never needed on the surface.
The course also covers fascinating topics such as physiology, the gases we breathe under pressure, dive medicine, the underwater environment, decompression tables, and more.
Requirements for the diving course:
Medical restrictions:
