About PADI Open Water Diver Course

The Open Water Diver course is one of the most recognized diver certifications in the world. To gain certification you must successfully complete the entire Padi Open Water Diver Course. This program enables you to:

Dive to a depth no greater than 18 meters independently with a certified buddy that has the equivalent or higher level certification while applying the knowledge and skills that you learned during the course. Plan your dive and dive your plan, log open water no stop (no decompression) dives. Discover the underwater world and forever blow bubbles.

In the confined water dives you will apply dive principles, learn and practice Dive Safety procedures and skills. You’ll do this in confined water in a controlled environment inside the Tunku Abdul Rahman Park.

Knowledge development gives you the information that you’ll need to complete your open water final exam. You will complete knowledge reviews, diver quizzes, and learn how to calculate your scuba dives by using the recreational dive planner.

In the open water dives, you will apply what you have learned during confined open water and knowledge development and discover the underwater world at its best. You will complete four open water dives.

This certification shows that you successfully completed the course according to the WRSTC (World Recreational Scuba Training Council), and dive centers or resorts would require this as a proof of certification.
