PADI Open Water Diver Course

A group of marine biologists students from the University of the Azores wanted to become divers, so they contacted Season Challenge Dive Center to start their Open Water Diver Course! This course is the first step to be certified as a recreational diver and to be able to dive up to 18 metres of depth. 

After they learned the theoretical part, it was time to have some fun in the swimming pool where they learned how to use the scuba equipment and got familiar with it. Then, it was time for the real deal, their first steps in the ocean, where they practised the same exercises that they have learned in the swimming pool, but this time with a beautiful underwater life to observe.
