Open Water Diver – 3 Days, 4 Dives + 2 Fun Dives

Begin Your Scuba Certification & Explore Komodo’s Underwater Marvels

The Open Water Diver | 3 Days, 4 Dives + 2 Fun Dives program from Dive Tribe Komodo offers an excellent way for beginners to become certified scuba divers while experiencing the stunning marine life of Komodo National Park. This package combines professional training with additional recreational dives so you can both learn and explore underwater.

🎓 What Is the Open Water Diver Course?

The PADI Open Water Diver course is the world’s most recognized entry‑level scuba certification. Completing it gives you the skills to dive independently with a buddy anywhere in the world — typically to depths of up to 18 meters.

Without needing prior experience, this course teaches you:

• Dive theory and safety procedures
• Confined‑water skills (practice in calm water or pool‑like conditions)
• Open water training dives where you apply your skills underwater

During your training, you’ll complete four open water dives as part of the core certification requirement.

🐠 What Makes Dive Tribe’s Package Special

What sets this package apart is the inclusion of two additional fun dives beyond the four required for certification. These extra dives give you more time underwater to enjoy Komodo’s vibrant reefs and marine biodiversity — without the pressure of skill assessment.

By the end of the three days, you’ll have:

• Completed your PADI Open Water Diver certification
• Enjoyed six total dives (4 training + 2 fun dives)
• Explored some of Komodo National Park’s best dive sites

The experience blends structured learning with more relaxed exploration, making it ideal for both new divers and adventurous travellers.

🌊 Typical Structure of the Course

While Dive Tribe Komodo’s official page doesn’t list a full itinerary, a standard Open Water Diver progression (adapted to include extra fun dives) usually looks like this:

Day 1 — Theory & Confined Skills

• Introduction to scuba gear and basic safety
• Pool or sheltered water practice of essential skills

Day 2 — Open Water Dives + First Fun Dive

• Two certification dives at Komodo dive sites
• One extra guided fun dive to explore the reef

Day 3 — Final Certification Dives + Second Fun Dive

This schedule gives you a balanced mix of learning and exploring without feeling rushed, and extra dives help you gain confidence before finishing the course.

🐢 Why Komodo Is a Great Place to Learn Diving

Komodo National Park is one of the world’s premier dive destinations, known for its dramatic coral formations, abundant wildlife, and clear water. Certified divers often see:

• Colourful reef fish and macro life
• Turtles and rays
• Healthy coral gardens
• Unique underwater topography

As you train and dive in these conditions, you’ll develop solid skills while being surrounded by some of the most breathtaking underwater scenery on the planet.

🧭 Practical Tips

• The course usually includes dive instruction, gear, and boat trips, but Komodo National Park entrance fees are typically paid separately — a common requirement for diving in the park.
• Prior to arrival, some dive centers recommend or require you to complete online theory (eLearning) so you can spend more time training in the water.
• Be prepared for full days of learning and diving — the experience is both educational and exhilarating.
