What you will gain
- The first part of the PADI Open Water Diver course: three knowledge sessions, three confined-water skill sessions and the first two open-water dives.

How the course works
This course is the fastest certification, completed in two days. It is a stepping stone, not a dead end: when you finish the remaining parts of PADI Open Water Diver you dive with a buddy, no professional needed. Many students begin with PADI Discover Scuba Diving (DSD) first.

The Tsereve Challenge: Everest in reverse
100+ metres is the Mount Everest of scuba diving. Far fewer people have dived that deep than have stood on top of Everest. Join the challenge: training, warm-up dives and the descent to 100+ m. Start from zero or from any point in your diving, even as a Tec Trimix 65 diver.
The final programme includes a certificate and a t-shirt. We run it in cooperation with Dive Aqaba.
