Content of course
The PADI Open Water Diver (OWD) is a beginner course that concludes with an international diving license. The PADI OWD license allows you to go scuba diving together with any other licensed diver as buddy to a maximum depth of 18m.

The App will also be functioning OFFLINE, you'll need internet access only for the download of the app and for transmitting your exam results upon successful completion of the theory. In case you have questions during your studies, our instructors will be happy to answer by email.

Costs of the course
The price of the PADI Open Water e-learning App is 180 €per participant!

Different options for participants who have already started the course
PADI Open Water Course with REFERRAL from another dive centre
If you started your course at another dive centre and would like to complete it with us, you can come to us with a "PADI Referral form" and finish your course here.
This option is particularly suitable for diving students who have started with the course theory and pool exercises in England, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Finland, etc., but who find the water in their local lakes and dams much too cold.
Have your PADI instructor issue you a referral form listing all the parts of the course you have already completed. We will then continue with you exactly where you left off.
This option is only possible if the missing parts of the course are completed within 12 months of the course starting. If more than a year has passed, the exercises, lessons and exams completed are void and can no longer be credited.
The price for a course with a referral slip depends on the course modules that still need to be completed. Please send us a copy of your referral slip and we will send you an individual offer.
Upgrade from PADI Scuba Diver to PADI Open Water Diver
You already have your PADI Scuba Diver certificate! In this case, you need an upgrade to complete the PADI Open Water Diver.
You still need:
- Completion of your PADI OWD e-learning (if not already completed)
- Final exam (online in your e-learning)
- 2 practical modules in the pool
- 2 practical dives in the sea
We will complete the PADI Open Water Diver Upgrade course with you for 320 €.
This price includes rental equipment diver insurance and the PADI license fees of 60 €.
However, the prerequisite is that you have completed your Scuba Diver course no more than 12 months ago. After more than a year, you must complete the entire course to become an Open Water Diver.
