The course is very intensive but yet very fun. There are three sections:

1. Knowledge Development- This section requires you to read five chapters of the Open Water textbook followed by answering questions and quizzes at the end of each chapter. You are required to watch a video which reiterates everything you learned in the textbook. Followed by a multiple choice exam of 50 questions. It is a very simple read so there is no reason to feel intimidated.
2. Confined Water Dives- You learn basic scuba diving skills from the beach in shallow water of up to 15 feet (5 meters). You will complete five confined water dives which will cover everything you need to know as an introductory Open Water Diver. An instructor will explain the objectives behind each skill and give a demonstration both on land and in the water to further assist you in mastering the necessary skills to become certified.
3. Open Water Dives – The course is comprised of four open water dives. From the beach, you will complete your four dives where you will descend no deeper than 40 feet (12 meters) to demonstrate your mastering of the basic scuba diving skills learned in the confined water section. On the last day, you will complete your last two open water dives from the beach. This will give you the opportunity to enjoy diving and to really experience the feeling of being an Open Water diver.

After you complete this course, you will focus your future vacations around diving. Get certified now with Maple Leaf Scuba to make your dreams a reality.
