Scuba Diver

Short on time and long on the urge to become a certified diver? The PADI Scuba Diver certification might just be for you. 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.
 
Our PADI Scuba Diver program is a pre-entry level certification designed for those who wish to dive solely under the supervision of a PADI Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, or PADI Instructor and to a depth of no more than 12 metres. PADI Scuba Diver provides the participant with a certification in less time than it takes to complete a full open water course. It is an ideal course and certification for secondary school students and can be incorporated as part of their outdoor education program or for those who only want to dive when holidaying in resorts.

The PADI Scuba Diver must always dive with a PADI Divemaster, Assistant Instructor or PADI Instructor and only to a maximum depth of 12 metres. The PADI Scuba Diver certification allows you to obtain air fills, hire/buy Scuba equipment and utilise other diving services whilst diving under instructor supervision. The Scuba Diver qualification can be upgraded to the Open Water certification at anytime.

This certification allows for ample dive experience and is a good warm-up for the Open Water Diver course, if that's your ultimate goal. 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
  • Obtain air fills, rent or purchase Scuba equipment and participate in other diving activities as long as they have the required supervision
  • Continue their dive training and complete PADI Open Water Diver certification and other courses such as Project AWARE and equipment specialty courses
