Q & A
The things you're wondering
I'm not a strong swimmer — can I still dive?
You need to be comfortable in water and swim a short distance, but you don't need to be an athlete. For Open Water you'll swim 200 m (untimed) and float/tread water for 10 minutes. We assess gently and guide you every step.
Can my 10-year-old take a course?
Yes. PADI Junior Open Water accepts children from age 10, with age-appropriate depth limits and a ratio of one instructor to at most two kids. Safety is the top priority — we screen medically and may reschedule if a child isn't ready.
What gear do I need to bring?
Nothing — we provide all certified, correctly-sized dive gear (including kids' sizes). Just bring swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen, and a ready attitude.
How long does Open Water certification take?
Usually 3–4 days: theory and confined-water skills, then four real dives at Hòn Mun. You can do the theory online beforehand (eLearning) to shorten your time in Nha Trang.
Where is the certification valid?
PADI certifications are recognised in over 180 countries and are valid for life. You can dive anywhere in the world with this card.
