open water diver
better training ....
The PADI Open Water Course is the entry level course designed for the absolute beginner. It gives you a diving qualification, recognised world-wide, and will be your passport to a lifetime of adventure! The certification is a lifetime award and qualifies you to dive down to 18 metres with someone of the same level. We think our OW course is the best around and our record speaks for itself. We have grown faster than any other dive centre, have the lowest instructor to student ratios, and run the most courses.
more convenient ....
Our PADI Open Water Courses are run over two weekends (you can split them if you want) and a new course starts every week. The course is broken down into a number of modules to make learning easy and fun. Before you come on the course you need to do a bit of home study. We provide you with the latest multi media packs to help guide you through these sessions. If you prefer you can also do this training on-line through our eLearnig facility.

The first weekend covers the theory side of diving and all the pool work - essential before we take you into open water. You will spend 6 hours in the pool over the two days, more than most dive centres. Oh and if you do struggle with anything don't worry - you can come back to re-do any section as many times as it takes with no extra charge.
Once the pool work and theory has been completed and you have passed an easy multiple choice exam you are fully prepared for the last 2 days of the course, where in full equipment, which is now familiar, you complete your course by making four open water dives. Dates are reasonably flexible and you can switch between weekends if you need to.
going away ....? If you are going away on hiliday you may wish to take a referral option. This means that you complete all the theory and pool work with us and then finish your course while you are away on holiday. It is a popular option. However, if you are having so much fun that you decide to finish the coiurse with us then you are more than welcome. Click here to find out more about the referral option.
better value ....
Triton Scuba provides all the equipment that you will need for training and all our equipment is less than 6 months old. We believe that when you buy your equipment you should have some knowledge of diving and what you want. So don't rush into it. All the equipment is provided for the course. When you do decide to invest in your own gear, we know what is good and what is not and can provide you with appropriate expert and impartial advice when making purchases.
The price of the course is £319. While we might not offer the cheapest course around we do believe it is the best value given the friendly quality of the training and what we include in the package. Remember it includes everything you need, all equipment hire, your manuals, electronic dive tables, log books and certification. The only additional payment is site entry fees or boat fees which will be £40. If conditions are right we will opt for dives from the boat as it is a mucvh more fulfilling experience for you. There is nothing else to pay. Our Open Water courses are extremely popular and fill up quickly, so make sure you book early. Call the Dive Centre to check availability.
Whilst you do not have to be a good swimmer, you do need water confidence. At some point in your course, your PADI Instructor will ask you to demonstrate this ability, by swimming 200 metres without swimming aids, and doing a 10 minute float/tread water. Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can earn a PADI Open Water Diver certification. However there are occasions and conditions when diving can be strenuous, and so a Medical Declaration Form must be completed before any training can take place.
