PADI Gold Open Water

The PADI Gold Open Water course is the worlds most recognised diver qualification.

During the dive course you will be diving to a maximum depth of 18m, in the best available conditions in the area . PADI dive course uses the Buddy system, which means that we always dive with someone else regardless of the conditions and at Wilderness Sea n’ Ski we fully support this.

Academic Training

Our course includes an Open Water crew pack and PADI DVD so you can do all the required study at home, at your own pace. Your manual has 5 modules, with a knowledge review at the end of each one, just read each chapter and complete all quizzes and all the knowledge reviews.

When completed, come to an evening study sessions with us to review each module and make sure you fully understand everything you need to. There is a multiple-choice final exam. Easy.

Confined Water Training

On the first Saturday you will learn your scuba diving skills at the local pool. Basics of gear assembly, to the more advanced skills such as mask clearing and removing and replacing dive equipment underwater. There is a natural progression with skill development, each one builds on the last so you gain confidence at a your own pace. There will always be enough time to practice your skills before the next step. It’s all about fun and safety.

So if you can swim 200 meters using any stroke, un timed, and then stay afloat for 10 minutes, you will be your ready for the next step.
