Learn how to Scuba Dive and open up a new part of the world.
The Open Water Diver course is your gateway into the underwater world. Designed for complete beginners, this internationally recognised certification teaches you the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to dive safely anywhere in the world.
At Scuba Tech Divers, we offer both PADI and SDI Open Water courses, delivered to the same high standard by experienced instructors in a relaxed, professional learning environment.
Both PADI and SDI Open Water Diver certifications are internationally recognised and accepted worldwide. The course structure, depth limits, and training outcomes are very similar.
The most important factor is not the agency, but the quality of instruction. Our instructors focus on producing confident, capable divers rather than rushing through the course.
We keep student-to-instructor ratios low to ensure you receive personal attention and develop real confidence in the water.
Our instructors are active technical and professional divers, bringing a high level of experience and calm instruction to every course.
Training takes place in open water dive sites, preparing you properly for real-world diving rather than just pool conditions.
All equipment is regularly serviced and selected for comfort, reliability, and suitability for learning divers.
From recreational specialties through to technical and rebreather diving, we offer clear pathways to continue your diving journey.
We believe learning should be enjoyable. Our courses are structured, calm, and never rushed.
Choose your package and preferred training agency
All Open Water Diver courses are conducted in accordance with PADI and SDI standards.
Pricing differences reflect agency training materials and certification fees.No previous experience is required. The Open Water Diver course is designed for complete beginners and takes you step by step from theory through to real open water dives. Although, we do recommend trying scuba diving before you commit to the full course. This can be done with an introduction dive.
For the in-water/ practical portion of the Open Water course, you will need 3 days with us. The exact schedule can be flexible depending on your availability and the package you choose. The online portion can be completed at your leisure before you come to Cyprus.
Both PADI and SDI certifications are internationally recognised and follow very similar course structures and depth limits. The main difference is the training materials and certification administration.
Course prices include professional instruction, training dives, learning materials, certification fees, and use of diving equipment during training. We also offer free pick up from any hotel/accommodation in Protaras, Pernera, Paralimni and some areas of Ayia Napa. Package inclusions vary depending on the level selected.
Yes. We specialise in calm, structured training with small group sizes. Our Platinum package also offers one-to-one instruction for those who prefer private training.
After certification, you can dive worldwide within your qualification limits. You will be qualified to dive with any other qualified diver but we do recommend gaining more experience with a professional before you head out to dive by yourself. Many divers choose to continue with Advanced Open Water, specialty Courses, or guided diving to build experience and confidence.
