The Proper Introduction to Diving  - PADI Open Water Diver

You may already be familiar with PADI’s Open Water Diver course.  It’s offered all around the world.  Most dive shops offer the course inexpensively. But you get the quality of experience that you pay for, which often means –

  • Old training gear.
  • Vancouver city dive training sites, crowds and poor underwater visibility.
  • Large classes and insufficient personal attention from the instructor.
  • Finishing the course lacking skills and confidence.

Why take the PADI Open Water Diver course through Coral Reef Diving?

Most people would like to start diving with a proper introduction to the sport. But only a few want to make - and receive- a commitment beyond that of the standard dive shop experience.

Coral Reef Diving provides:

  • More value in terms of entertainment, challenge and accomplishment. 
  • Objective support and guidance in purchasing your gear.
  • Independent learning, no evening classroom sessions.
  • Undivided personal attention in the water, not group learning.
  • Progress through the course at your own pace of learning, not at the pace the instructor sets for a group.
  • Better dive training sites, for a truly enjoyable underwater learning experience.
  • Our commitment to help you develop skills and attain a high level of competence, not just get the certification card.
  • An environment of progressive development to higher levels of skill, under the guidance and supervision of a pro and mentor.
