Diving Fiji Courses

PADI OPEN WATER DIVER

Now is the time for you to dive into the PADI Open Water Diver course, the most popular diving programme in the world! This is your ticket to a lifetime of intense adventure and pleasure with PADI, the dive association that sets the standards in the global diving community. Learn to dive in Fiji whilst your on holiday!

During the course, you'll learn the fundamentals of scuba diving, including dive equipment basics and techniques. You will also earn a PADI Open Water Diver certification that is recognised worldwide. You earn this diving license by completing five sessions in a diving pool, five knowledge development sessions and by making four dives at some of Fiji's best diving sites.

As a certified PADI Open Water Diver you have the freedom to dive with a buddy independently of a professional. It's a permanent license, so you earn it for life. If you already tried a PADI Discover Scuba Diving experience or are Scuba Diver certified, you may get credit from these courses to the open water programme. Your underwater adventures can begin as soon as you want with the PADI Open Water Diver video. You can view this at your own pace if you'd prefer and then meet with one of the instructors for further assistance.

Virtually anyone who is reasonably fit, in good health, and comfortable in the water can earn a PADI Open Water Diver certification. At some point during your scuba diving course, your PADI Instructor will ask you to demonstrate the ability to swim 200 metres, tread water, and complete a bit of paperwork to set you on your way.

As mentioned earlier, the Open Water Diver license is a permanent scuba qualification. However, if you do not dive for over 12 months and you are relatively inexperienced at diving, then we recommend you complete a refresher programme, such as the PADI Scuba Review. This can take as little as one hour of your time in the dive pool and gives you the chance to refresh those diving skills you may have forgotten. This way, when you dive again you don't need to worry and you can enjoy your time underwater even more.
