Kefi Divers

Open Water Course (PADI)

Learn to scuba dive and become a fully certified PADI Open Water Diver with personalised training and small groups in the beautiful waters of Crete.

Ready to learn to scuba dive? The PADI Open Water Diver Course is your first step towards becoming a fully certified scuba diver, giving you the knowledge, skills and confidence to explore the underwater world. Your course starts with PADI eLearning, provided as soon as you sign up. You can complete the theory at your own pace before your practical training begins, giving you more time to concentrate on developing your diving skills once you're in the water. Your practical training takes place over three half days. You'll begin with a half day in the swimming pool, where you'll learn and practise the essential scuba skills in a controlled environment. This gives you the opportunity to become comfortable with your equipment, buoyancy and breathing underwater before progressing to the sea. You'll then complete four open water training dives over two further half days. With your instructor alongside you, you'll put your pool skills into practice while learning how to manage yourself and your equipment in real diving conditions. At Kefi Divers, we keep our course groups small and personalise your training to suit your experience, learning style and pace. Everyone learns differently, so we take the time to make sure you understand each skill and feel comfortable before moving on to the next one. Throughout the course, you'll develop the fundamental skills needed to become a confident diver, including buoyancy control, underwater communication, equipment use, dive planning and safe diving practices. Once you successfully complete the course, you'll receive your PADI Open Water Diver certification, allowing you to dive to a maximum depth of 18 metres independently. Your course includes all scuba diving equipment and certification costs, so you can concentrate on learning and enjoying the experience without having to arrange your own diving equipment.
