The most popular dive course in the world
Open Water Diver
The PADI Open Water Diver Course is the most popular dive course in the world. It qualifies you to dive to a maximum depth of 18 metres/ 60 feet. The certification is valid for life and is suitable, as a starting platform, for diving the world over.
There are many ways to become a PADI Open Water Diver. Our recommendation is that you begin your PADI training back home through PADI eLearning. This allows you to complete the academic portion of the course online prior to your arrival at Tokoriki Island Resort. The program works like a breeze, but in the event of any glitches we, your PADI Instructors, are only an email away to assist.
With a fair chunk of the course taken care of, once you are in Fiji it's our job to turn theory in to practice. Personalized instruction, a dedicated salt water dive training pool, and dive sites that are sheltered and comfortable yet brimming with marine life: we have all the right ingredients to making your Open Water Course with us an experience that is flexible, fun, and rewarding.
