This introductory education class forms the initial ideas about the diving. On it students get theoretical knowledge about the water environment, physics and physiology of dives, get acquainted with the work of equipment, the features of its use, the basics of underwater communication, then dive with the instructor. 

In the lesson, the children receive basic information about the history of scuba diving, the water environment, physics and physiology, learn how to use the equipment for diving, how to adjust the weight system, control buoyancy, and then dive with an instructor.

The SDI Open Water Scuba Diver Course will cover all of the necessary skills and knowledge for open water scuba diving, including:

• The aquatic environment: vision, light, sound, heat loss, tides, currents, waves, surge, etc.
• Physics and physiology: buoyancy, pressure, air spaces, breathing compressed air, mixed gases, etc.
• Dive equipment selection, assembly, use and maintenance
• Dive planning
• Basic scuba skills including mask and regulator skills, swimming underwater, buoyancy control, basic rescue techniques, and emergency procedures  

After successful completion of the course, the graduate

• ready to dive to 18 m with a partner
• able to independently gather equipment and use it
• knows the rules of communication under water
• able to cope with basic situations
• receives

Certificate SDI - OWD

Course Junior Open Water Scuba Diver - basic course for children aged 12+ years, which includes the necessary basic theoretical knowledge and basic skills for further independent diving.The theoretical sessions cover issues of the physics of diving, the characteristics of the aquatic environment, the physiological aspects of the human body and the possible risks. During to practical lessons students master the skills of using scuba equipment, buoyancy control.

After successful completion of this course, the graduate

• ready to dive to 12 m. with an adult partner
• is able to independently gather equipment and use it
• knows the rules of communication under water
• is able to cope with basic situations
• receives

Certificate SDI - Junior Open Water Scuba Diver

The course for the certified diver who has been inactive for 6 month and wishes to review the scuba skills and academic information before starting to dive again. It will help you remember how to use the equipment, to plan dives,  communication signals, to adjust the weight system.
