The PADI Open Water Course is a beginner-level training that gets you certified to Scuba Dive up to depths of 18 meters/59ft and it is for whole life :) I took my course with Turtle bay divers in perhentian besar. The course price is about RM 900-950. My instructors are Tim and Joe.
To complete the course :-
- Receive your PADI Open Water Diver manual.
- Watch a video which explain the chapters in the manual.
- Do a chapter-review with your Instructor.
- Confined water
- Take theory Exam.
- Start 4 dives with your Instructor
- PADI Certified diver :)
The course need to be done by at least 4 days but If you are unable to take leave you can split the course which done 2 days in city and 2 days at the island. Which mean you need to read your manual and watch the video, theory exam in city and do confined water sessions in a swimming pool with your Instructor then another weekend only dives with instructor at the Island.
