PADI Open Water Diver

The PADI Open Water Diver course at Divers Pro World runs in two distinct phases. The theory and pool work are scheduled as a separate session (Theorie/Schwimmbad), and the open-water dives (Freiwasser) are booked independently — useful if you want to space out the training or can only commit to one part at a time. Both sessions appear on the center's calendar as bookable dates.

For the theory side, PADI eLearning is an option, so you can work through the academic material at home before stepping into the pool. That fits well with the reality of diving in the Frankfurt metro area, where most students are fitting training around work schedules. The pool phase covers the core skills before you move to open water.

This is a PADI-certified course, so the resulting Open Water Diver card is internationally recognized. The center operates under PADI guidelines throughout, and the qualification lets you dive independently to 18 m with a buddy anywhere in the world once certified.
