Pre-Requisites

• All students must fill in a PADI Medical Questionnaire prior to participation.
• Minimum age is 10. Children aged between 10 & 15 will be awarded the PADI Junior Open Water certification once all 4 qualifying open water dives have been completed.

Course Content

The course structure is modular consisting of Knowledge Development & Confined Water training sessions.

Knowledge Development

Knowledge Development is based on a self-study method, allowing you to study in your own time, at your own pace. Home study is backed up by 5 Academic sessions with a PADI Instructor, to ensure full understanding of essential diving theory.

Confined Water Sessions

During your 5 confined pool sessions, you will learn the skills necessary to dive safely and with confidence. Perfecting buoyancy and learning to clear your mask of water are among the fun and exciting skills that your PADI Instructor will teach you.

Sub-Mission Dive School offers extra pool time for additional skills practice if required. This ensures students optimize mastery of learning and are confident to transfer pool skills to the open water environment. Watermanship skills must be demonstrated, you don't have to be a strong swimmer as long as you can complete a 200-metre swim and a 10 minute tread water.
