Detailed Course Structure
 |
Skills Development Session |
| 1 module (this is the first module of the full PADI Open Water Diver Course) of scuba skills development at the swimming pool. This is usually conducted on a Sunday from 9.30am to 12.30pm, at Outram Secondary School. Lunch will be provided for students.
During the session, fundamental skills of scuba diving required to keep a diver safe will be taught. Divers will also be introduced to all diving equipment needed during the course.
Even though the fees include all gears needed for the duration of the course, it is advisable that divers invest in their personal mask, fins, snorkel and wetsuit prior to the confined water session. Reason being is that students adapt faster using their own personal gear. They feel more comfortable and relaxed during the training. In addition, their next dive will need little or no adjustment to the equipment because they are already accustomed to their gear. |
| |
|
 |
Optional Open Water Dive |
This is the most important and exciting part of the course. After all the knowledge and skills development and students showing competency in them, the open water training serves as an guided evaluation that student divers are able to take care of themselves and their buddy when they complete the course.
Depending on the package you have selected (Pulau Tioman, Pulau Dayang, Pulua Redang, Pulau Perhentian and locally Pulau Hantu), you will head out for a weekend of fun, sun, sea and great memories to bring home. |

 There are about 18 PADI Dive Centres in Singapore and only a handful of them have the rating of a PADI 5 Star IDC - one of the highest rating given to a dive centre.
Read more about PADI Dive Centre Rating here.
Short of telling you why we are good, we will tell you what it takes to become a proper PADI 5 Star IDC Centre. Even though there are some PADI 5 Star Facilities which only meet minimal requirements, Orpheus Dive has far superceded the minimal requirements, ensuring that our divers have a one stop dive centre and dive club.

Equipment Retail |
As a PADI 5 Star Dive Facility, a dive centre must provide in-house retail. Orpheus Dive has a well stocked inventory store covering major brands such as Scubapro, Zeagle, TUSA, Seac Sub, Beauchat, Trident, XS Scuba, Underwater Kinetics and Problue.
In Singapore, there ARE ONLY TWO dive centres that are into full retail business.
Note to diver : There are dive centres that claim to have a retail business. However, they only have an online retail arm that purchase stock when a customer makes an order. Unlike us, our well stocked store has everything that a diver needs. And because of the volume purchase, we are able to offer lower prices compared to the rest of the other dive centres.

Equipment Servicing |
| |
Orpheus Dive Singapore is an Authorized Service Centre for Scubapro, Apollo, Zeagle and Seac Sub. We have a fulltime service technician that is solely in charge of helping divers service their equipment and handling their annual servicing needs. |
| |
|
|
Equipment Rental |
| |
Orpheus Dive services and manages their own rental gear, unlike many independent dive centres and instructors who are dependent on others for their rental needs. All rental gear are serviced on a quarterly basis to ensure that they are kept in prime condition.

Dive Courses |
| |
We offer all levels of courses from programs for kids of 8 years old to Professional courses such as the PADI Instructor Development Program. For the past 7 years, we have held a Instructor Development Program with PADI Course Director Azman Sulaiman.
Orpheus Dive is also one of the very few dive centres in Singapore that has co-written Distinctive Specialties - which are specialties approved by PADI that can only be taught by us.

Dive Travel Program |
| |
All Dive Centres MUST BE REGISTERED as a legitimate company with a travel license to conduct business such as dive courses and dive trips.
Our fulltime staff and independent instructors has dived in exotic destinations such as Raja Ampat and Mozambique. We will be able to customize your dive travel needs based on your experience and budget.
Note to Diver : Diving with a dive centre which does not have a valid travel license can spoil the entire weekend. Singapore Tourism Board and Land Transport Authority have the right to suspend the entire trip because operating without a travel license is illegal. |
