Obtain air fills, rent or purchase scuba equipment and participate in dive activities as long as properly supervised.
Continue dive training by completing the PADI Open Water Diver certification and taking certain specialty diver courses.
Contents: 3 knowledge development sessions, 3 confined water dives and 2 open water dives from boat.
