OPEN WATER DIVER COURSE (English)
■OPEN WATER DIVER COURSE Manatees (Japanese)
Just what is the Open Water Course?
This is the first course someone who wants to learn scuba diving takes. We call the certification a "license," but the proper name for what the student gets after taking this diving course is a "C Card." In other words, this is the course you take to learn how to dive. After you have successfully finished this course, you are qualified to go on diving tours.

About the Manatees Open Water Diver Course
At Manatees, our courses are designed to help people qualify for a C Card and then want to enjoy diving. To achieve that, we spend time and resources to ensure that our courses are scheduled so the student can spend the greatest amount of time possible gaining experience in or near the water. (For example, the course includes AT LEAST 2 boat dives.) It would be simple to run students through the curriculum and give them a certificate of completion. But, depending on the progress made at each step, we take all the time needed when training to make sure the student completely understands and gains the necessary skills. We do require prospective students to make appointments, but we often do Open Water Diving Courses, so the wait should not be excessive.
