PADI Open Water Scuba Diving Course in Cape Town

If you want to become a certified scuba diver, this open water certification course is the perfect place to start. This PADI open water scuba course in Cape Town teaches you the fundamentals of scuba diving and sets the foundation for all the other scuba dive courses. By the end of this multi day scuba diving course you will be able to dive with a certified buddy up to a depth of 18 metres.

The course starts off right when you sign up whereby you will receive some theory to review in preparation of the course! Day 1 of the course thus starts with some online learning (though a physical textbook can be provided upon request). This can be done in the comfort of your own home and at your own pace. Since you will receive materials after signing up, you can even start the theoretical lessons before you even arrive in Cape Town! The first day of in person training begins with pool sessions. The pool is located on the premises of the Into the Blue dive centre and will allow you to learn the basics of breathing underwater in a controlled environment. Once you are comfortable with your scuba equipment in the pool, it is time to head into open water!

After the pool sessions, your open water course days 3 and 4 will be spent in the ocean practising skills you learned and having fun! All together, you will complete 4 separate ocean dives after which you will be ready to be certified! The ocean diving in Cape Town is exceptional – from shipwrecks, to kelp forests, and a diverse variety of marine life, you will be in for a real treat! Before heading into the ocean, you are also able to come in for more optional pool training sessions to build your confidence – the course can be tailored to fit your needs and schedule.
