| This is my personal interpretation so please double check with your centre before booking. PADI Open Water - DVD Prerequisites: You must be able to swim 200 meters non-stop any style plus tread water for 10 minutes. Can't swim? Learn to Swim With Us!
You will often see this course in resorts advertised as a 2 day course. Unless you are used to studying and take to learning new skills, especially water skills, fairly quick, you will probably find this quite intensive. Many places now take this course over 3 days.

This course is ideal for those who want to begin their initial diver training without fully committing to the full Open Water Course. Covering basics of diving and safety rules, after completing the Scuba Diver course you will be able to dive anywhere in the world to a maximum depth of 12 metres accompanied at all times by a Divemaster or Instructor. The course itself consists of
Following successful completion of this course students can be certified as a PADI Basic Scuba Diver.

Note: I would advise you to ask to do this first if you have any doubts. Not much point finding out you can't do it half way through!
