Both courses consist of knowledge development to understand the basic principles of scuba diving, confined water dives to learn basic scuba skills and open water dives to review your skills and explore.
The Scuba Diver Course consists of five dives spread over three days, and the Open Water Diver Course entails nine dives and takes five days to complete.
