PADI Open Water Course

About this tour

Earn your PADI Open Water certification over three days in Bali and join the ranks of independent divers. You'll build genuine competence in the water—mastering buoyancy, equipment handling, and underwater navigation—before qualifying to dive safely to 18 metres. This isn't a tick-box course; it's the foundation that underpins confident diving for years to come. Hotel transfers, meals, and professional instruction included.

What to expect

You'll spend your first day in the pool or confined water, building comfort with the gear and mastering essential techniques. Days two and three move to open water, where you'll complete four dives alongside your guide whilst applying what you've learned. Expect classroom sessions covering dive theory, hands-on equipment practice, and gradual progression in depth. Between dives there's time to rest and absorb what you've done. The pace is relaxed but thorough—your guide will ensure you're genuinely ready before each new challenge.

Good to know

Don't fly or undertake strenuous activity within 18 hours before diving. Complete the health questionnaire honestly; certain conditions (asthma, heart issues, epilepsy, colds, congestion) may disqualify you—speak with your doctor beforehand. Avoid alcohol and drugs.
