The Learning Materials You Need
PADI offers a variety of home-study materials for the Open Water Diver course. While eLearning is the most convenient option, you may also chose a book and DVD package or a multimedia DVD-ROM.
PADIs Open Water Diver materials cover what you need to know about basic scuba diving skills, terminology and safety procedures. For each concept youll read a description and watch a video demonstration. Then youll jump in the pool to practice these skills with your instructor. Later, as a certified diver, use the course materials as a reference guide for future diving adventures and to review what you learned.
