What You Learn:
The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three main phases:

• Confined Water Dives to learn basic scuba skills.

If you’ve tried diving through a Discover Scuba Diving experience or resort course, the skills you learned may be credited towards a portion of the full PADI Open Water Diver course certification
