Please note that this is the fastest possible time in which you can complete the Open Water Course.
It doesn't take into account potential learning difficulties, and/or weather conditions. You will also need to have had sufficient rest the night before (travel by overnight bus not advised), be reasonably fit and have sufficient energy levels to be able to follow this schedule.
This schedule may involve having to skip lunch on both days and only making do with snacks.
We reserve the right to advise you to stop at 'Scuba Diver' if we feel you are unable to complete the full Open Water Course in the 2 days specified, as we still want to maintain our quality of training.
But if 2 full days is all you can spare to do the course, then we are prepared to help you do it in this time.
