PADI 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.
Particularly 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.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.
What you learn
All the basics of scuba diving through knowledge development, a set of scuba skills in confined water
that you’ll use again during open water dives, and an appreciation for the underwater world that will
keep you coming back for more bottom time 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.
