To accommodate those who wish to do part of the course at home and part here, the PADI Open Water course can be done in two parts. Part 1 with your local PADI Dive Club will cover all the academics, pool sessions and examinations, usually undertaken over evenings and weekends within 6 months of your vacation; but preferably just before. This leaves only the 4 open water dives that are completed on this referral course in the comfort and splendour of the warmth and clarity of the Red Sea.
