Open Water in Moorea

Your first diving certification, from the lagoon to the ocean-side sites.

Minimum age.

How the course works

The first two dives take place in the lagoon, in calm water, to learn the basic skills. The next four are in the ocean, outside the reef, on our fun-dive sites.

Once Open Water certified, you can dive down to 20 metres in the ocean, with us and anywhere in the world.

Started elsewhere?

If you have done the theory and pool sessions at a PADI centre at home, you can complete your course in Moorea with us: this is the PADI referral.

What's next?

Next step: the Advanced, to go further and deeper. Prefer the French system? See the French levels. For 10 and 11 year olds: the Junior Open Water, on the kids & teens diving page.
