The PADI Scuba Diver course is a sub- course of the PADI Open Water Diver course . If you are short on time but really want to become a diver, the PADI Scuba Diver level may be great for you, particularly if you are hoping to dive primarily with a dive guide. This course is an intermediate step towards achieving an Open Water Diver certification, if that is your ultimate goal.
This sub-course can take as little as two days if you manage to finish the e-learning prior to the water sessions. Starting early on the first day we will do a confined water session to get you comfortable with all the skills we need and we will finish with a total of 2 dives in the ocean by the end of the next day.
PADI Scuba Divers are qualified to:
- Dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional to a maximum depth of 12 meters / 40 feet.
- Obtain air charges, rent or purchase scuba equipment, and participate in scuba activities as long as they are properly supervised.
- Continue diving training by completing the PADI Open Water Diver certification and taking certain specialty diving courses.
