About this experience
The Open Water Certification course from Aloha Scuba Diving Co. takes students from complete beginner to fully certified PADI Open Water Divers across a structured series of sessions. The course begins with PADI eLearning completed at home, where students build a foundation in scuba principles, pressure, gear selection, and dive planning. Confined water training then takes place at Magic Island, where an instructor guides students through essential skills including mask clearing, hovering, and gear setup. All rental equipment is provided for both confined water and ocean sessions.
Shore dives on the first day let students apply their skills in real conditions, and boat dives on the second day depart from Ala Wai harbor.
Reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, and swimwear are not provided and should be brought along.
