Open Water Diver Certification

The Open Water Diver Certification is a foundational scuba diving qualification that allows individuals to dive safely independently with a buddy, up to a specified depth (usually 18 meters/60 feet). It involves completing classroom instruction, confined water training, and open water dives to learn essential skills like equipment use, buoyancy control, and safety procedures. This certification is internationally recognized and often required for diving trips and experiences, enabling certified divers to explore underwater environments confidently while prioritizing safety and environmental responsibility.
