Description

Get your ticket to the underwater world - your first diving certificate, the Open Water (OW) Diving Course!
☀️ Want to enjoy the weightless, carefree feeling, exploring the captivating azure ocean and swimming alongside various marine life 🐟🐠? The Open Water Diver course is led by experienced instructors, with classroom sessions and exams, allowing you to unlock your Hong Kong diving certification and fully immerse yourself in the underwater world! 🌊

Before diving abroad, you can first learn the PADI entry-level diving course in Hong Kong, gaining knowledge on various diving aspects, and then directly start your journey overseas! There are many benefits to learning diving in Hong Kong, such as flexible schedule, and more detailed instruction compared to the condensed courses overseas...

Why choose Young's Holidays?
We have years of teaching experience in both Hong Kong and overseas diving courses, with each instructor having at least 5 years of teaching experience. We strictly maintain a student-to-instructor ratio of 1:4 or lower, using swimming pools for beginner instruction, committed to providing high-quality diving education. This ensures that every student can enjoy diving safely and confidently, giving them greater peace of mind before going out to sea.

The importance of pool training in calm water
This is to allow students to familiarize themselves with underwater movements and breathing techniques in a safe environment, enabling them to move more freely and safely in the ocean. Through simulating real ocean environments, we ensure that every student can remain calm and composed when facing various situations during the actual Open Water Diver course.





Professional instructors first explain basic diving knowledge in the classroom, such as equipment, etc. Then, students need to take a written test. If they pass, they can continue their diving education. Easy pass!



Afterward, the instructor will first take everyone to the pool to learn underwater and surface skills, preparing everyone mentally for the actual sea outing. Once familiar with the techniques, you can officially head out to sea!
