​PADI Open Water Course (4/5 days) £260  

PADI Open Water Course 4 to 5 days £260 

All aspects of this course are completed at resort.

Your instructors will assume you have no advance knowledge of diving and they will take you through each stage point by point, mixing theory and practice and explaining all the details as you go. It is a complete, carefully structured course designed to teach you to be a safe, competent diver.

The course is divided into three parts: classroom, confined water and four open water scuba dives. During the course you will practise and master the skills that you will need as a diver, with your instructor devoting maximum time to teaching you fun, safe diving. This ensures virtually anyone in good health who is reasonably fit and comfortable in the water can learn to Scuba Dive.

The following sample itinerary shows how the five day dive course fits into a week’s holiday in the Red Sea
Your course starts today with an introductory video and the fitting of your equipment. During your first three days a small part of your time will be spent in the classroom for academic training and your water skills training dives will be in the confined shallows of a local beach or swimming pool.

After two to three days training you will be ready for your first open water dives. Depending on weather conditions, you will usually go by boat to a suitable sheltered dive site where you will complete your course with four open water dives. These may be made from the beach if conditions are not suitable for boat diving. On successful completion of the course you will be qualified for a PADI Open Water Diver Licence.

​You will need your own copy of the Open Water manual for the course. Please ask the current price of the manual for this course.
You will also need a PADI Registration and certificate which you buy at resort when completing your course with Divers United. Again, please check what the current price of the certification is with our Dive Center.
