PADI SCUBA DIVER COURSE
PADI SCUBA DIVER COURSE
The PADI Scuba Diver course is a subset of the PADI Open Water Diver course. If you’re short on time but really want to become a diver, the PADI Scuba Diver rating might be right for you ̶ particularly if you expect to go scuba diving primarily with a dive guide. This course is an intermediate step for earning an Open Water Diver certification, if that’s your ultimate goal.
PADI Scuba Divers are qualified to:
- Dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional to a maximum depth of 12 metres/40 feet.
- Obtain air fills, rent or purchase scuba equipment and participate in dive activities as long as properly supervised.
- Continue dive training by completing the PADI Open Water Diver certification and taking certain specialty diver courses.
To enroll in a PADI Scuba Diver course (or Junior Scuba Diver course), you must be 10 years old or older. You need adequate swimming skills and need to be in good physical health. No prior experience with scuba diving is required.
The PADI Scuba Diver course consists of three main phases:
- Knowledge Development eLearning to understand basic principles of scuba diving – just the first three of five sections of the Open Water Diver course.
- Confined Water Dives to learn basic scuba skills – just the first three of five dives of the Open Water Diver course
- Open Water Dives to use your skills and explore – just two of four dives of the Open Water Diver course.
The PADI Scuba Diver course can be done in either 1day or 11/2day depend on the learning capability of the student. If you start with the eLearning and complete the 3 sessions of the Knowledge Development for Open Water Diver course with the completion of Knowledge Review & Quizzes & Examination then when you arrive at the Dive Center at 0800hrs, you will be able to start the Confined Water Training which will be done in 2hrs. After completing the Performance Requirements of the Confined Water Training, you can proceed to the Open Water Training Dives which is 1130hrs & 1430hrs or you can opt to do the Open Water Training Dives on the next day. After completing the PADI Scuba Diver Course, you will receive a temporary licence or you can opt to continue with the PADI Open Water Diver Course.
