Diving OW is a course that many diving enthusiasts or diving instructors need to take, so as to ensure that everyone will not encounter danger in deep water and pay attention to all underwater dynamics and matters. I will share with you a detailed guide below.

What does diving OW mean? OW, here refers to OpenWaterDiverCourse, an open water diver course, which is an introduction to scuba diving (ScubaDiving, that is, diving with an oxygen bottle on your back, not just snorkeling or freediving with a breathing tube and mask)

Courses. OW courses are designed to be studied abroad. It usually lasts for 3 or 4 consecutive days. During this period, if you pass the instructor's evaluation and meet the PADI standard performance requirements, you can get the certificate and become an open water diver in these 3 days or

What should you learn in 4 days? They are 5 units of confined water exercises (swimming pool or an environment similar to a swimming pool) and 4 units of open water exercises (out to sea exercises (standard requirements can only be 3 training dives and driver's license lessons in one day).

Similar: theory plus written test - field practice - road test. Day 1: study theoretical knowledge, watch videos, complete self-study part, do 5 unit after-class exercises, answer unit evaluation, and final exam; Day 2: Calm.

24 skills in water + 1 unit course in open water; Day 3: 2~4 unit course in open water, study completed; then there is the issue of class size. The PADI standard is that one instructor can teach up to 8 students, and each additional qualified assistant can

With 2 more students, the number of students can be increased to 12. Finally, the cost of OW teaching alone (not including air tickets, food and accommodation, is usually 2000~2500RMB); first let’s talk about the feasibility of learning diving in China.

As a Chinese, there are many unique conditions for learning to dive, because many of our neighbors in Southeast Asia are diving resorts around the world. Let’s look at a set of online data: the proportion of popular diving destinations is - Malaysia.

(33%, China (24%, Philippines (21%), Thailand (19%), Indonesia (2%) A good place to learn OW in China 1) Many places in China learn to dive in swimming pools, which are calm waters; even if you learn it,

Not having experienced the real underwater environment will bring many disadvantages. For example, although you study in the swimming pool and get OW, when you actually go abroad to dive and come to the mysterious seabed, your mood and feelings, especially your feelings, will be different.

Learning in the swimming pool varies greatly. Maybe this unfamiliarity will make you feel nervous or even panicked, affect your actions underwater, and even bring danger. 2. Generally speaking, the sea in China is not as clear as the marine life in Southeast Asia.

There are not as many species as there are in some Southeast Asian waters; therefore, in summary, I recommend choosing Southeast Asian countries to get in touch with real ocean and underwater creatures for the first time, which will be of great help to your diving experience abroad.

What are some good places to learn OW in Semporna? I believe that as long as you care about diving, you will know the name of Semporna. It is famous for its gorgeous marine life species, clear seabed environment and low price. The advantages of Semporna diving are.

: 1. Almost all the coaches in the dive shops can speak Chinese. They are either run by Chinese people or they are Malays but their Chinese is as fluent as native speakers, so at least you don’t have to worry about understanding; 2. The price is relatively cheap: the cost of OW courses is actually very different.

Not much; however, there are often discounts on air tickets to Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia (mainly AirAsia. There is no direct route to Semporna, so you need to transfer from Kuala Lumpur or Kota Kinabalu. This part will be listed later, plus round-trip air tickets and various meals.

Accommodation may be cheaper than studying in Hainan.

3. Natural conditions that are conducive to teaching: OW is divided into open water and calm water. Semporna’s confined water course is in the sea. At least from the beginning, students are trained to be familiar with diving and reduce their fear of water; 4. Scenery

It’s just so beautiful: that’s definitely an important factor too.

Not to mention the top ten diving resorts in the world: Sipadan is located in Semporna; the scenery of Warship Island, Mabu Island and other places where you can learn to dive is not ordinary; the marine life on the seabed is even more colorful, just here.

This wonderful experience is worth the price. Disadvantages of learning to dive in Semporna: 1. It is too far from China (you have to transfer at least once to fly there. If the transfer time is long, you may have to spend 10 hours on the road

Or even longer, the journey is too arduous. Usually you need to fly to Kuala Lumpur or Kota Kinabalu, transfer to Semporna, and then take a taxi to Semporna Town. 2. Safety issues, last year's sigamata (a simple floating house near Semporna).

What happened was that a Shanghai girl was kidnapped by Filipino bandits. Although she came back, the process was probably not pleasant.
