How it works
The course follows the same three modules as PADI Open Water Diver: theory, pool skills and Black Sea dives at Eforie Sud. It is performance-based and takes as long as each student needs to feel comfortable in the water.
The full programme, with every theory topic and pool skill, is described on the Open Water Diver page.
What comes next
From age 12, Junior Open Water Divers can continue to Advanced Open Water Diver. Younger divers can join only certain adventure dives, on the instructor's advice.
