Ready to dive into Oahu's underwater paradise? This comprehensive PADI Open Water Diver Course - 2 Days in Honolulu opens the door to scuba adventures at over 10,000 dive sites worldwide. Perfect for ages 10 and up, our small class sizes ensure personalized attention as you explore Oahu's pristine reefs and incredible marine life.
We've structured the course around three key components that build your skills progressively. Knowledge Development happens at home over 3-4 days using PADI materials—complete this before moving forward. Next comes Confined Water Training at Magic Island, where you'll master essential skills in a controlled environment while reviewing what you've learned.
The real magic happens during Section 3's open water dives. Depending on conditions, we'll take you to the best spots on Oahu's North, West, or South shores—whether that's from the beach or by boat. Weather drives our decisions, ensuring you experience optimal diving conditions every time.
Once certified, you can rent gear at any dive shop globally and explore underwater worlds wherever your travels take you. The final exam fits into any of the three sections based on our monthly schedule.
Visiting Oahu on vacation? Our Electronic-Learning Package lets you complete all knowledge requirements and exams online weeks ahead of your trip. Hit the water immediately when you arrive—no classroom time needed.
This PADI Open Water Diver Course - 2 Days Honolulu experience starts from $649 per student for the Electronic-Learning Package, which includes the Open Water Certification Platinum Package plus PADI's electronic learning materials. We'll email and text you dive locations based on predicted conditions, and Ola ParaDive may reschedule training due to weather. Late arrivals get a 15-minute grace period, while no-shows or late arrivals face a $75 rescheduling fee per participant.
