        PADI Open Water Certification Course | Group Course Curriculum: Skills You Learn

        This course is knowledge development only. Every skill has to be signed off before you are certified.

        What you will learn

        Student completing PADI Open Water eLearning theory in the Key Largo classroom
        Knowledge development — classroom or eLearning before you get wet.

        Skills and takeaways

        • Set up, check, and use scuba equipment correctly
        • Maintain control: buoyancy, trim, and safe ascents/descents
        • Communicate and dive responsibly with a buddy
        • Plan no‑stop dives within your limits

        Assessment

        • Instructors evaluate skills to PADI performance requirements—not speed—so you can dive comfortably and safely.
        • You’ll complete knowledge reviews, a final exam, confined‑water skill sign‑offs, and open‑water performance requirements.
        • Exact sequencing can vary with conditions, but standards and required skills remain the same.
