Overview Upgrade Scuba Diver to Open Water Diver on Gili Meno
1,5 days – 2 open water dives – a two-stepped approach to become an Open Water Diver
Do you already have a Scuba Diver certification, and want to take your adventure deeper? The Open Water Diver Upgrade course is perfect for you. You don’t need to start over and take the Open Water Diver course from the beginning, you just need to complete the remaining skills and training dives.
Upgrading the Scuba Diver certification to an Open Water Diver certification is easy and fun with Divine Divers in Gili Meno. As part of this course, you will get to make two more ocean dives on Indonesia’s biodiverse coral reefs, learn more fun and practical skills in the pool and complete the remaining theory.
