Why should you take part in IDF Open Water Diver course?
It's impossible to list all the reasons! For starters, only 30% of our planet's surface is above water. Would you like to receive only 1/3 of your meal, 1/3 of your favourite drink, or earn only 1/3 of your salary? No? So why limit your world to a measly 30% when diving is your ticket to the other 70%? Beneath the surface of the water lies a completely different world, stunning in its diversity of life, bright colours and breathtaking beauty. It doesn't matter if your heart is stolen by vibrant coral reefs, dark wrecks with their tragic history or the calm and green depths of lakes. Water has already cast its charm upon many people for whom a basic diving course turned out to be the beginning of an extraordinary adventure!
What does the course look like?
The course is divided into three parts that complement each other and gradually build the knowledge and skills necessary for diving.
- By reading the manual and participating in theory lectures, you will learn, among other things, how being underwater and breathing compressed air affects your body, how to use diving equipment and what you can do to plan and perform your dives safely.
- In pool-like waters (or simply in a pool), in safe, comfortable and controlled conditions, you will acquire skills that will be useful later when diving in open water.
- Open water diving will be the crowning achievement of all your previous lessons. You will have the opportunity to dive to a depth of 20 metres, putting your newly acquired skills to use in real-life conditions.
