The internationally recognised PADI scuba diving Open Water Diver course is the most popular scuba diving course in the world. The PADI is a qualification for life and will qualify you and a ‘buddy’ to scuba dive independently of supervision in conditions similar to or better than those you were trained in.

The PADI scuba diving course is comprised of two distinctive parts. The first part of the PADI scuba diving course is the knowledge development or theory and pool session – known as PADI referral; the second is the open water dives – known as completion.

By carrying out your PADI scuba diving referral course in London, you will not be wasting valuable holiday time in the classroom and pool going for your PADI. All of the academic and pool training is carried out at a custom built diver training facility in South West London. You will finish your Open Water Diver PADI scuba diving course by completing four scuba dives in a local lake close by. The scuba dives will incorporate you performing skills that you have mastered in the pool, whilst enjoying the thrill of an open water environment scuba diving environment.

The only things that are not included in the Open Water Diver part of the PADI scuba diving course are; transport to the scuba dive site, entrance fee (£6 per day*) and subsequent air fills (2.50*) for the completion scuba dives.
