The Cortez Club - PADI Open Water Course
Business Hours
Description
At The Cortez Club we train divers for PADI diving courses using the PADI system (Professional Association of Diving Instructors), the world’s largest diver training organisation. Your PADI qualification will be recognised worldwide… more than any other diving qualification.
The Cortez Club is a PADI 5 Star Gold Palm Instructor Development Centre; we train people on PADI courses from beginner right up to professional diving instructor.
As a beginner you will train to become a PADI OPEN WATER DIVER. This qualification will enable you to dive around the world with a buddy (friend/partner) of the same or higher standard, to a maximum recommended depth of 18 metres/60 feet.
The Cortez Club has no minimum number for classes, so you can sign up any time. This guarantees individual attention and most importantly, maximum safety. Our course will teach you all the essential skills needed to SCUBA dive, to become familiar with the equipment and understand what happens to your body underwater. This course has great emphasis on safety, not only for yourself but also your diving buddy.
PADI Open Water Course Is:
Divided into three parts which are all very flexible to suit all lifestyles.
Confined Water Diving:
This is where the real fun starts – where you actually GO DIVING! This part of the course is conducted at our swimming pool or in the sea, off our dock. Here, under the guidance and supervision of an Instructor, you will learn and practice dive skills and procedures. This part of the course involves 5 dives and takes a minimum of one day or as long as you need!
Knowledge Development:
Once you have decided to start the course we give you a manual and video to watch and study in your own time and at your own pace, this establishes the principles and basic information all divers need to know to enjoy comfortable, safe diving. This can be completed in a minimum time of one day.
Open Water Dives:
The final part of the course involves four dives in the ocean. Again, under the supervision of an Instructor, you will complete the course by applying, adapting and further developing your knowledge and dive skills in the real diving environment. This part is also very flexible and is usually conducted over two days.
ONCE THESE THREE PARTS HAVE BEEN COMPLETED YOU ARE A CERTIFIED DIVER!
