The Open Water PADI
Certification Weekender Experience

Experience
Everybody loves snorkelling and exploring the underwater life and beauty. But to come across beautiful fish, coral and plants you have to go little deeper than the water surface. Unforgettable Days are offering you a two day weekend intensive scuba course experience. This action packed session prepares you for the open water dive - your final step in the process of obtaining your PADI Scuba Diving Certification Card (sdcc).

The initial part of the experience is a two day course at the Aquarius Scuba Diving Centre (Saturday and Sunday). In the class room you will learn about equipment, physics and physiology, safety and the environment of diving and how it applies to you and the underwater. A combination of lecture with slides and video presentations are used. Once in the pool, you will learn snorkelling, scuba diving skills, and safety techniques. You will become familiar with various types of scuba equipment and develop the confidence required for your open water dives.

The final part consists of 4-5 dives from the shore and includes your certification card. The open water diving and certification are conducted in the spring and summer in the clear waters of either the Georgian Bay (Fathom Five Park) in Tobermory, the St Lawrence River in the Brockville area, Kingston, Innerkip Quarry, Gulliver’s Lake, and Lake Simcoe.
