About this tour

Earn your PADI Open Water certification with Kohala Divers over approximately four days. This entry-level course covers dive theory, equipment use, and the skills needed to feel confident in a variety of underwater situations. All training materials and equipment are included. The program combines classroom learning through PADI's eLearning platform, pool sessions, and four ocean checkout dives along the Kohala Coast. Your certification is recognized worldwide, valid for life, and opens the door to more advanced dive training. Already completed your eLearning and pool work elsewhere? Kohala Divers accepts PADI referrals - contact them to arrange your ocean checkout dives on the Big Island.
