Open Water Diver

The PADI Open Water Diver certification, offered by Diving Mallorca, is your essential first step into the global underwater community. This internationally recognized qualification allows you to explore the aquatic world independently, reaching depths of up to 18 meters. The course structure is designed for progressive learning, beginning with knowledge development, which can be conveniently completed via PADI eLearning at your own pace. This theoretical foundation is then put into practice through confined water dives, where essential scuba skills are honed in a controlled environment, followed by at least four open water dives conducted in real dive sites.

During your training at Diving Mallorca, you will master critical skills such as buoyancy control, vital for efficient and safe diving, and emergency procedures like mask clearing and air sharing. You'll also learn dive planning techniques using dive tables and computers, building the confidence and competence needed for various diving scenarios. The program emphasizes a practical understanding of dive theory and its application, ensuring you are well-prepared for your future adventures. The certification is awarded by PADI, a leading global organization in diver training.

To begin your journey, you must be at least 10 years old, with those aged 10-14 receiving a Junior Open Water Diver certification. Good health is a requirement, along with basic swimming proficiency demonstrated by a 200-meter swim or a 10-minute float. Diving Mallorca offers this foundational course in multiple languages, including German, English, Spanish, and Polish, ensuring accessibility for a diverse range of students. The center's commitment to quality training provides a solid base for further diving education and personal exploration.

Upon successful completion of the PADI Open Water Diver course with Diving Mallorca, you will be certified to dive with a buddy to a maximum depth of 18 meters without direct professional supervision. This opens up a world of possibilities, including enrolling in the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver course and various specialty diver programs. The global recognition of your PADI certification means you can confidently plan dives at countless locations worldwide, making Mallorca just the beginning of your underwater exploration.
