In the Knowledge Development portion, you'll learn more about the theory of diving, including dive planning, dive management and control, supervising students in training, physics, physiology, equipment, skills and environment and dive tables.
In the Practical Application portion, you'll work with actual Open Water students in both the confined and open water and lead advanced specialty dives like night and deep dives.
