Thinking of getting certified for an upcoming vacation, but don't
have the time to put into a regular diver course? Now there's a quick
and easy program designed especially for you! This is your chance
to slap on some fins, strap on a mask and experience an intense adventure
in a short amount of time.
Why PADI Scuba Diver?
The PADI Scuba Diver program is a pre-entry level certification that
is perfect for vacationers 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 vacation
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.
Minimum age: 10
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 (ocean or lake) dives.
How long will it take?
PADI programs are performance based. You proceed as you demonstrate
mastery of the course skills. This allows you to work at a pace that
is comfortable for you.
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.
