Course Overview
What You Will Learn
The PADI Open Water Diver course is one of the world's most recognised scuba diving certification. It qualifies you to dive independently with a buddy to a maximum depth of 18 metres at most dive sites anywhere in the world.
At DWM, the Open Water course is structured in three phases. Theory is completed through PADI eLearning at your own pace before sessions begin. Confined water skills are practised in a pool in Batam during weekday evening sessions after 6pm. Open water certification dives are completed at a local Batam dive site or at a destination of your choice: Gili Trawangan, Manado, or anywhere else on your dive bucket list.
The main focus is mastery of the fundamentals: buoyancy control, equipment management, and underwater confidence. You will not be rushed off until you genuinely feel comfortable and confident underwater. That is not standard practice in the industry. At DWM, it is the only way we work.
