Your first breath underwater
How to become an Open Water Diver with us
There is a moment you will never forget.
You are kneeling in shallow water. Your mask is in place, the regulator is in your mouth.
You breathe in – and suddenly you realise:
I can breathe underwater.
For many, this is where a new passion begins. And that’s exactly what the Open Water Diver course is for.

What exactly is an Open Water course?
The Open Water Diver course is your introduction to the world of scuba diving. After completing this course, you will be able to dive anywhere in the world – to a depth of up to 18 metres, with a buddy and without an instructor.
You will need:
- curiosity
- A normal state of health
- Ability to swim (you don’t have to be an athlete!)
- And a little courage. We’ll do the rest together.
How the course works – step by step
? 1. Theory – convenient & modern
You learn at your own pace. Online or at our premises – whichever you prefer.
What you will learn:
- How does a dive work?
- How do you balance the pressure?
- What is important for your safety?
No dry school desks – just practical knowledge that is fun to learn.
? 2. Exercises in shallow water – the first contact
Here we get down to business – but very gently. We practise together in the pool or at the lagoon:
- Breathing underwater
- Blow out mask
- Buoyancy control (i.e. floating in water)
Take your time, relax, and don’t feel pressured. You set the pace.
? 3. Open sea dives – the real adventure
Then it’s off to the Red Sea. You’ll do four real dives – with us by your side. Always with an instructor, always safe and close by.
And yes: on your very first dive, you will see fish that you have only ever seen in documentaries before.
What makes us special at Lagona Divers
We are not the fastest diving school. And that is intentional.
Because we believe that learning requires trust, time, and genuine support.
With us:
- you always have the same contact person
- you are never ‘just a number’
- you learn in small groups
- You can also say, “I need a quick break.”
And above all: We are there for you. Before, during and after the course.
Many of our guests stay in touch with us – because they have realised: Here, it’s really all about you.
Our goal?
Not only that you get the certificate. But that you say at the end: “I felt safe. And I want MORE of it.”
Because that’s the true open water feeling.
