Curso Open Water Diver

The PADI Open Water at Calvi Plongée covers six dives across six sessions of approximately two hours each, reaching a maximum of 18 metres. The minimum age is 10 years. Groups are capped at four students per instructor throughout the course.

The theory component is completed online and is not included in the 480€ course price — the e-learning option with certification adds 150€. A medical certificate is required before starting.

The Bay of Calvi and the surrounding sites give the Open Water a good range of environments across the six dives. The dive sites the centre works regularly — St François, Punta Rossa, Punta Bianca — provide Mediterranean fauna and flora at the depths used for Open Water training, making the skills dives more varied than a pool-based approach.

The certification (80€ additional) is issued by PADI and is internationally recognised. On completion, Open Water holders can continue directly into the Advanced Open Water at Calvi Plongée.
