Dive Course Details
PADI Open Water course (3-4 days)
This is where it starts. Take your first breath under water. The PADI Open Water Diver course is the world’s most popular scuba course. If you’ve always wanted to learn how to scuba dive, discover new adventures or just enjoy the freedom and the fascinating beauty of the submarine world. Feel safe and comfortable through the knowledge and training that you will gain during your PADI Open Water Course and enjoy the freedom under water.
Course structure
You´ll need 4 days to absorb the PADI Open Water Diver course in a relaxed way.
The course is split into 3 parts.
1. Knowledge Development
During the first phase of your PADI Open Water Diver scuba certification, you develop an understanding of the basic principles of scuba diving by watching the 5 chapters of the PADI Open Water Diver video. You briefly review what you have studied in the five knowledge sections with mw as your Instructor and take a short quiz to be sure you’re getting it. At the end of the course, you ’ll complete a longer quiz that makes sure you internalized the concepts and ideas. You and me as your private PADI Instructor will review anything that you don’t quite get until it’s clear.
2. Confined Water Dives – Scuba Skills Training
This is what it’s all about – diving. You will develop and train in basic scuba skills in a pool or pool-like conditions in shallow water. There are five confined water dives, with each building upon the previous. Here you’ll learn and practice all necessary scuba diving skills, from setting up your scuba gear to learning how to use and get comfortable with it. You’ll also practice emergency skills that will make you able to handle difficulties while diving in a safe and proper way. You´ll be able to help yourself and your buddy if problems appear. After this training you´ll feel safe and comfortable through the knowledge and experience that you gained during your confined water training. These skills will enable you to enjoy the freedom under water without worries.
3. Open Water Dives
After your confined water dives, you will continue learning during 4 open water dives with me as your private PADI Instructor at a dive site. This is where you will fully experience the underwater adventure at the beginner level. You may make these dives near your home or at a more exotic destination while on a scuba vacation.
The PADI Open Water Diver course is incredibly flexible and performance based, which means that I can offer you individual schedules, paced according to how fast you progress
The training is based upon demonstrating that you know what you need to know and that you can do what you need to do. This means that you progress at your own pace; faster or slower depending upon the time you need to become a confident scuba diver who dives regularly.
All offered PADI dive courses can be embedded in the Ergo- therapeutic Different Therapy concept.
PADI Advanced open water course (3-4 days)
To get more comfortable with the underwater world you will be completing five adventure dives under my supervision as your PADI Instructor. Two of these dives are mandatory; the Deep Adventure Dive and the Underwater Navigation Adventure Dive. The other three dives that you complete can be chosen from a wide range of Adventure Dives. One reason you’ll love the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course is that you can choose from 15 types of Adventure Dives to complete your course.
The following adventure dives are available
altitude diving, AWARE-fish identification, boat diving, deep diving, diver propulsion vehicle use, drift diving, dry suit diving, multilevel and computer diving, night diving, peak performance buoyancy, search and recovery, underwater nature study, underwater navigation, underwater photography, underwater videography, wreck diving
If you’re looking to build your confidence and gain more experience, this is the next step. How much you learn while taking your Advanced Open Water Diver course with me will depend on your own interests.
You will gain further skills and knowledge about:
- Practical aspects of deep diving
- Physiological effects of deeper scuba diving
- More ways to use your underwater compass
- How to navigate using kick-cycles, visual landmarks and time
- How to better use your dive computer and electronic Recreational Dive Planner (eRDP)

PADI Rescue Diver Course (3-4 days)
The PADI Rescue Diver course theory covers a wide range of topics including; The psychology of rescue, recognizing diver stress, accident management, assisting responsive and unresponsive divers at the surface and underwater, equipment problems, oxygen delivery systems, missing diver procedures, responding to diver emergencies and in water rescue breathing.
The PADI Rescue Diver course is designed for anyone who wants to learn how to prevent and manage diving emergencies. The course broadens a diver's awareness and improves your skills and confidence. The PADI Rescue Diver training is one of the most challenging - sometimes demanding - and therefore most rewarding courses. The subject is serious but the training contains a lot of fun.
After you complete the in water training portion of the course, we will complete 10 rescue exercises in the open water, either with or without initial skills practice in confined water. Finally, you will participate in two Rescue Diver scenarios in open water.
The conclusion is to be a safer diver and to be prepared. Increase your self-confidence with knowledge and training with the PADI Rescue Diver course.
