PADI Scuba Diver Course

Short on time but long to learn to dive and become a certified diver? The PADI Scuba Diver certification might just be for you. Taking only 2 days this course requires less time than the PADI Open Water Diver course, covering only the first three of five sections of Knowledge development, the first three of five pool sessions, and the first two of four open water training dives, resulting in a limited certification. If you expect to go scuba diving primarily in the company of a dive guide or if you have limited time to devote to scuba certification, consider becoming a PADI Scuba Diver. Accommodation is also included in the price.

This certification allows for ample dive experience and is a good warm-up for the PADI Open Water Diver course. PADI Scuba Divers are qualified to:

• Dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Divemaster, Assistant Instructor or Instructor to a maximum depth of 12 metres/40 feet.
• Continue their dive training and upgrade to a PADI Open Water Diver  at any time.

Course Structure

• Day 1 : am : Watch the Open Water DVD     12.00pm : confined session
• Day 2 : am : classroom     12.00pm : dives 1 and 2

The Learning Materials You Need.

The course price includes all the materials you'll need. The PADI Open Water diver Manual, your equipment and your certification. 2 nights accommodation in a standard fan bungalow are also included. A/C rooms are also available.

PADI’s Open Water Diver materials cover what you need to know about basic scuba diving skills, terminology and safety procedures. For each concept you’ll read a description and watch a video demonstration. Then you’ll jump in the pool (or pool-like environment) to practice these skills with your instructor. Later, as a certified diver, use the course materials as a reference guide for future diving adventures and to review what you learned.

What You Learn

All the basics of scuba diving through knowledge development, a set of scuba skills in the pool that you’ll use again during open water dives, and an appreciation for the underwater world that will keep you coming back for more every chance you get!

During the course you’ll cover material and practice skills related to topics such as:

• Buoyancy skills including comfortable ascents and descents, and breathing underwater.
• Staying warm underwater, streamlining your swimming skills and buddy diving techniques.
• Diving environments and aquatic life you’re likely to encounter.
• Preventing common problems underwater.
• An introduction to boat diving. 

To take this course, you must be 15 years old (or 10 years old for the Junior Scuba Diver certification).

The Fun Part

The Scuba Diver certification opens the door on the underwater world for anyone who’s thought that a course would take too long or be too difficult.
