Equalization techniques
When participant Divers are comfortable in the shallow water, they may progress to the open water dive
A PADI Instructor will directly supervise the first open water scuba dive
Subsequent Open Water Dives
Upon Satisfactory completion of the first open water scuba dive participant will be presented a recognition card (included in the registration pamphlet). The recognition card is to be signed and dated by the PADI Instructor conducting the initial open water dive. (At this time participants have the opportunity to continue by enrolling in the PADI Open Water Diver Course).
Time Limit
Since the Discover Scuba Diving program is not a certification course, there is a time limit for participants to make additional open water dives beyond the initial open water experience. A Discover Scuba Diving participant may make additional supervised open water dives within two weeks (14 days) of completing an entire Discover Scuba Diving experience including completion of the Instructor Presentation, Water Skills Introduction, Development session and initial open water dive. After two weeks the participant must repeat all portions of the Discover Scuba Diving experience prior to making additional open water dives.
