PADI Open Water Diver Course on Bonaire E-Learning Version

Summary

The PADI Open Water Diver Course is the way to become a certified Open Water Diver. We have our own training pool which we use for the first confined water session(s) until everyone is comfortable enough for the ocean. We take our time conducting the course and take student divers to beautiful sites all along the island. The course is taught in small groups with a maximum of 4 people and by professional instructors who care for the safety and fun of their student divers. We offer more personal attention, more fun, and a real quality dive experience and education. - The course consists of three parts: knowledge development, 5 confined water sessions, and 4 open water dives. - The entire course takes 3-4 full days of diving and theory of which 1 day is self-study. - The e-learning theory part you can take either online or offline. This option gives you the opportunity to already start your course back home, which will save you about 1 full day of study on Bonaire. - Count on a total amount of 8 hours studying before the course. You have to finish the theory prior to the course.
