Ocean Quest’s 2 Weekend PADI Open Water – Learn to Dive Course

Not all PADI Open Water Courses are the same – at Ocean Quest you will receive the following training advantages:

• Learn in a Drysuit – As leaders in the local diving community, Ocean Quest was the first and still one of the only dive centres in Greater Vancouver to exclusively train their students in drysuits. This will keep you warm and dry during your ocean dives. We have quality Whites Drywear / Aqualung Fusion Drysuits in our rentals which will offer a perfect fit. Our drysuits also have changeable neck and wrist seals so we can customize the fit just for you.
• Drysuit Undergarments are Included – Ocean Quest was the first and still one of the only dive centres in Greater Vancouver to provide students with proper thermal undergarments to wear under your drysuit. This will ensure you stay warm and comfortable.
• Low Student to Instructor Ratios – Ocean Quest was the first and still one of the only dive shops to maintain a ratio of 3 or 4 students per instructor both in the pool and ocean. This will allow our instructors to offer additional attention to each student so we can teach you more details on how to be a better diver. Many dive centres have groups as large a 8 students per instructor.
• Exclusive to Ocean Quest – Customized Information and Training – Over the years we have found that the better your training, the more you will enjoy diving. To accomplish this, Ocean Quest has put together a unique learn to dive program that will go above and beyond the basic PADI Open Water Diver course. In our program, you will learn:
  • How to have better control of your buoyancy
  • How to be properly positioned in the water (trim)
  • How to move more effectively through the water using a variety of propulsion techniques
  • How to dive more efficiently with your buddy
  • And much more….
