Overview
The PADI Scuba Diver program is a pre-entry level certification that is perfect for holidaymakers or people who only plan to dive a couple times a year. As a subprogram of the PADI Open Water Diver program, the PADI Scuba Diver rating allows you to get certified quickly and easily by minimizing time constraints. With the PADI Scuba Diver certification you can dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, Instructor or higher professional on your next holiday or dive trip.
What do I need to start?
Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can earn a Scuba Diver certification. If you are between 10 and 14 or have a child between these ages, there is a PADI Junior Scuba Diver program available.
What will I do?
Throughout the course, you'll learn fundamentals of scuba diving, including dive equipment and techniques. You earn this rating by completing pool dives, knowledge development sessions and by making two open water (sea or fresh water) dives.
How long will it take?
PADI programs are performance based. You proceed as you demonstrate mastery of the course skills. The course can be completed in as little as two weekends. We offer a weekend course each month throughout the year. If you would prefer a slower pace or find weekends difficult we offer training sessions each Tuesday and or Friday evenings.
What will I need?
- PADI Open Water Crew-Pak
- PADI Open Water Video or DVD
- Log Book
Where can I go from here?
After completing the Scuba Diver program, you'll want to continue your dive education and the PADI Open Water Diver certification to explore more dive opportunities.
