Important information about the course
Your Open Water Training will be somewhere else!
Before you leave on holidays find a PADI dive shop, most likely at your resort! PADI is the largest scuba training organization in the world. It IS “The way the World Learns to Dive!” if you have trouble ask Denise, she will help.
If you are traveling with Denise, just leave it all to her.
No matter who your Instructor is, you will start with a nice fun dive! Just to help you get your “sea legs” and to try out what we learned in the confined water portion. Then for the remaining dives you will get to”show off” what you learned in the pool! No big deal, just a lot of fun! Then Congratulations you are a Scuba Diver!
