Description

Want to become a scuba diver? Then your underwater adventure starts in Fort Lauderdale with the PADI Open Water Diver Course.

Learn about scuba diving principles and terminology (either offline or online), then learn basic scuba skills in a pool (or pool-like environment) with a highly trained PADI Instructor. When you’re ready, make four dives in an open water environment (the ocean, a lake weather depending) with your instructor supporting you every step of the way.

The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of two main phases:

  • Independent Study: PADI eLearning makes it easy to fit scuba lessons into a busy schedule. Learn about scuba diving principles and terminology whenever, wherever it’s convenient for you. It’s your course on your time. Study offline, or online using a computer or mobile device. Connect with your instructor whenever you have a question.
  • With Your Instructor: Practice using scuba gear in a pool until you’re comfortable. PADI training includes practice “mini dives” to help you build confidence in your new abilities before making four dives in open water.
