What does it cover?
The PADI Open Water Course course is, by far, the world's most popular scuba certification course. Millions of people have started diving as certified PADI Open Water Divers.

The PADI Open Water Diver Course online provides the knowledge development portion you need.

These include Night Diver, Peak Performance Buoyancy, Wreck Diver, Boat Diver and Underwater Naturalist.
