So, what are the benefits of upgrading? Firstly, you will not be restricted to diving under the supervision of a PADI Professional. The PADI Open Water Certification enables you to plan your own dives with a buddy of similar qualifications. Secondly it increases the recommended depth limit from 12 metres to 18 metres. Restrictions apply to Junior Open Water. Thirdly, once qualified you will be able to continue your diver education with speciality and advanced training. So what’s involved? You will complete the dive planning chapters 4 & 5 in your Open Water Manual, and the final PADI Open Water exam. You will also complete a refresher pool session of the skills learnt on your Scuba Diver course, plus pool lessons 4 and 5 of the PADI Open Water course and the 200 metre, any stroke, not timed swim. Finally we take you for a day’s Open Water Diving to complete dives 3 and 4 of your Open Water Course. You can complete your Scuba Diver Upgrade in as little as one week.
