PADI Open water course

Hooray~ I am a certified diver now :)



My instructor Joe and Me

my horrible tan line



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 :-
  1. Receive your PADI Open Water Diver manual.
  2. Watch a video which explain the chapters in the manual.
  3. Do a chapter-review with your Instructor.
  4. Confined water
  5. Take theory Exam.
  6. Start 4 dives with your Instructor
  7. 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.
