Open Water Diver

Your adventure starts with the PADI Open Water Diver course, where you’ll develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to explore beneath the surface.

You’ll learn:

AWARE Specialist

Add purpose to your new diving skills with the PADI AWARE Specialist course.

This non-diving specialty introduces you to the global PADI AWARE movement and the ways divers and ocean enthusiasts can help protect our underwater planet.

You’ll learn about:

• The PADI AWARE movement and its conservation mission
• The 10 Tips for Divers to Protect the Ocean Planet
