maximum depth of 12 metres/40 feet.
What the course covers
-
The Junior Open Water course structure is essentially the same as for the adult
course

You’ll learn the fundamentals of scuba diving, including dive equipment and
techniques.

You'll earn this rating by completing five pool dives and knowledge development
sessions and by making four open water dives.
