The knowledge development phase is conducted through the PADI eLearning system on a computer or tablet. You can learn at your own pace at home. We recommend doing it in a span of four weeks before your first practical session so you can learn comfortably.

Do note that you will need to complete and pass this before the dive sessions.

The actual practical dive sessions (Confined Water Dives and Open Water Dives) take place over two weeks which include three weekday evenings and one Saturday.

Week 1: Tuesday and Thursday evening 6.00pm to 10.30pm.

Week 2: Wednesday evening 6.00pm to 10.30pm, and all day Saturday, 8.30am to 6.00pm.
