Duration for PADI Open Water Course: 3-4 Days

PADI Open Water course is your first step in a journey that may change your life forever. So, this beginner course allows you to learn how to become an independent scuba diver. 

With Badr Divers’ professional PADI instructors, you combine the adventure of learning how to scuba dive with the great excitement of exploring the spectacular Red Sea and all of its treasures.

With PADI eLearning you can complete the theory part in your language and on your own time. PADI eLearning helps you to complete the scuba lessons on your laptop, desktop, or even your mobile. Watch the videos and complete your quizzes before you come, so you don’t waste a day of your holiday inside a classroom. You will need 5 to 10 hours to complete your online eLearning theory part.

We start with your practical confined water training dives in a safe environment that is not deeper than five meters. Also, you will learn all the skills required by your instructor until you become completely confident in assembling and using your scuba gear. Your professional instructor will guide you through all the safety measures for scuba diving. Also, he will teach you how to manage any possible underwater challenges to ensure you have an awesome underwater experience with confidence and peace of mind.

Upon successful completion of all of the confined water skills, we continue our adventure in the open water. You will need to complete four (4) open water dives with your instructor and go to a maximum depth of 18 meters. By the end of the four open water dives, we can congratulate you for completing the first step in the underwater adventure and becoming a certified PADI open water diver.
