The PADI Junior Open Water Diver course is the world’s most popular scuba course, and has introduced millions of people to the adventurous diving lifestyle. The fun part about this course is... well, just about all of it because learning to dive is incredible. You breathe underwater for the first time (something you’ll never forget) and learn what you need to know to become a certified diver.

This course is available for ten years of age and above. Essentially the same as the PADI Open Water Course except for on qualification the Junior Open Water Divers have certain depth restrictions and must dive in open water under the supervision of a qualified parent, guardian or PADI Professional (divemaster or above). Once the Junior diver turn 15years of age, they will be upgraded for free to a PADI Open Water Diver.

During the course, you’ll make at least five confined dives and four open water dives at local dive sites under the supervision of your PADI Instructor. Aquaholics PADI 5 Star center has been teaching courses for over 25 years and provides the highest level of tuition and facilities.

• Knowledge Development - To understand basic principles of scuba diving.
• Confined Water -To learn basic scuba skills.
