THE PADI OPEN WATER DIVER
The PADI Open Water Diver qualification is
the most recognised diving certification in the
World. As a qualified diver you can dive with
a diver of similar, or higher qualification,
whenever you want to. It is your ticket to a
lifetime of adventure underwater and the
starting block to a huge and diverse range of
further diving qualifications and experiences.

COURSE OVERVIEW
At Triton Scuba our PADI Open Water courses
are conducted over 2 weekends and a new
course starts almost every weekend so you
can choose a date to suit you. Learning to
dive through a club system can take months,
but at Triton Scuba we are flexible on dates,
so if you miss a day through no fault of your
own, you can always join another course.
The course is broken down into a number of
modules that make learning easy and fun.
Before you come on the course you need to
do a bit of home study, but we provide you
with manuals, your own DVDs and computer
based learning packs that contain all the
information you need to understand the
theory of diving. You study when it suits you
meaning you wont have to sit through a se-
ries of dreary lectures. Your training will be
conducted at our award winning, PADI 5 Star
Centre in Southsea. During the first weekend
we will cover the theory side of life and all the
pool work; essential before we take you into
open water. We will confirm what you have
learnt and fill in any gaps in your knowledge
in the classroom then its time to get wet.
Over the first two days you will spend six
hours in the pool getting to grips with the
equipment and techniques used in diving.
Once the pool work has been completed and
you have passed an easy multiple choice ex-
am, you are fully prepared for the last 2 days
of the course, where, in full diving equipment
that is now familiar to you, you will complete
your course by undertaking four open water
dives. These will be either from our boat, or
at an inland lake depending on the weather
conditions. Thats all there is to it; youre
ready to go diving and the start of an adven-
ture of a lifetime.
