What are the prerequisites

To enroll in the PADI Open Water Diver course you must be at least 10 years old and have adequate swimming skills. No prior experience with scuba diving is required. Before we start your in-water training you will be asked to complete a 200m swim at any pace or style and perform a 10min survival float.

Can I do Part A with you and B elsewhere (e.g. on holiday?)?

Yes, while we would love you to do part B with us, the Open Water Referral is recognised in most dive centres so you can complete your open water dives elsewhere. This is popular if you want to go abroad but want to tick off the classroom and pool dives here in the UK.
