Overview
• Stay-Based Certification Experience – Combines training, diving, and accommodation • Two International Certifications – OWD followed by AOWD • Gradual Depth Progression – Reduced fatigue with better skill absorption • Extended Reef Access – More dive time across multiple sites • High Marine Encounter Potential – Reef fish, turtles, and deeper reef species • Balanced Learning Schedule – Rest, theory, and dives evenly spaced
Phase 1 – Arrival, Stay Check-in & Orientation
- Arrival & Accommodation Check-in
Participants arrive at the designated location and check in to the provided accommodation. After settling in, an orientation session introduces the dive team, daily schedule, meal timings, and training expectations.
Phase 2 – Open Water Diver (18M) Training
- Theory Sessions & Knowledge Development
Participants begin with structured theory covering:
• Basic scuba physics and pressure concepts • Breathing underwater and air consumption • Equalisation techniques • Equipment usage and maintenance • Dive safety rules and underwater communication
- Confined Water Skill Training
In shallow, controlled water, participants practice essential scuba skills including:
• Regulator recovery • Mask clearing and removal • Buoyancy control using BCD • Emergency procedures and controlled ascents
Training continues until participants demonstrate comfort and control.
- Open Water Training Dives (4 Dives)
Participants complete four open-water dives on shore and boat sites, practicing skills while exploring reefs with clownfish, parrotfish, butterflyfish, wrasses, and corals, and earn Open Water Diver certification up to 18 m.
Phase 3 – Advanced Open Water Diver (30M) Training5. Advanced Theory Briefings
Short, focused briefings introduce:
• Deep diving procedures and nitrogen awareness • Underwater navigation techniques • Dive planning and gas management • Buoyancy refinement and environmental awareness
- Five Advanced Adventure Dives
Participants complete five adventure dives, including:
• Deep Dive exploring greater depths and reef structures • Underwater Navigation Dive using compass and natural references • Peak Performance Buoyancy Dive • Two additional adventure dives selected based on conditions and instructor assessment
Advanced dives may include encounters with giant clams, schools of reef fish, moray eels, stingrays, and frequent sea turtle sightings along deeper reef sections.
Phase 4 – Certification Completion & Wrap-Up
- Final Review & Certification Processing
After all dives, participants are evaluated and receive Open Water and Advanced Open Water Diver certifications for independent diving up to 30 m, with accommodation and meals included.
