Elevated Open Water Diver Course
Take your first steps into scuba diving with more depth, more support, and more adventure.
Our Elevated Open Water Diver course is designed for those who want a more personalized and immersive learning experience. With small group sizes and expert guidance, you’ll enjoy focused instruction in a friendly, professional setting.
As part of this course, we include your Nitrox (Enriched Air) Certification at no extra cost.
Why Nitrox?
Diving with enriched air means less nitrogen in your system, which helps reduce fatigue and extends your bottom time, so you can explore more and feel better doing it. It’s a smart, safety-first approach that prepares you for longer, more rewarding dives in the future.
This isn’t just training—it’s your launchpad to becoming a confident, capable, and eco-aware diver from day one.
Don’t settle for the basics—dive smarter and safer! Sign up for our Elevated Open Water Diver Course today and take your diving to the next level.
E-Learning
Start your SDI Open Water Scuba Diver eLearning course and master all the important academic information. You can complete this phase through self-study, at your own pace, in the convenience of your home or office. All eLearning courses work on mobile and tablet devices too.
Pool Training
The next step will be to complete your in-water skill-development training. This takes place in a swimming pool or similar body of confined water, under the supervision of an SDI Instructor.
Open Water Dives
The final step is to complete the required number of SDI Open Water training dives under the supervision of your SDI Instructor. Here you will apply what you have learned during your academic and skill-development sessions, while learning practical lessons that can only be gained through real-world experience in open water.
