The course
Your first real diving certification
On the Junior Open Water Diver you learn exactly what adults learn: the same theory, the same skills, the same exam. You just have more time for each skill, you are in a small group — and you don’t dive quite as deep.
First comes the theory: five exciting chapters about how diving works. You can read them with us or online at home beforehand. And then it’s into the sea — four dives on the reef, where you practise each skill until it feels really easy.
At the end you get a certification that never expires and is valid at every dive centre in the world. When you turn 15, it automatically becomes an Open Water Diver — with no new exam.

Important to understand
The depth limits
They are not a suggestion but a PADI standard — and we stick to them without exception.
| Age | Accompanied by | Maximum depth |
|---|---|---|
| 10–11 years | Parent, legal guardian or PADI Professional | 12 metres |
| 12–14 years | Certified adult | 18 metres |
| from 15 years | as a regular Open Water Diver | 18 metres |
Children under 15 never dive alone and never with another child as their buddy. A certified adult is always there — on our course and on every dive afterwards.
How your course runs
Three to four days full of adventure
1
📘 Day 1 — theory & water test
Five theory chapters with quizzes, plus your swim test: a 200-metre swim and 10 minutes of treading water. No time pressure — all that matters is that you do it.
2
🐠 Day 2 — your first dives
Off to the reef! You learn how to breathe properly, clear your mask and float weightlessly — each skill as often as it takes. And in between there is time to marvel. Usually the day you meet your first clownfish.
3
🏅 Day 3 — exam & certification
Dives three and four, plus the short written exam. Then you get your certification and your logbook — and you are officially allowed to dive!
