- Why Scuba Diver?

The Scuba Diver program is a pre-entry level certification that is perfect for people who run out of time to complete their full Open Water training or who decide that they would prefer to limit their training and always dive under the supervision of a diving professional.

The Scuba Diver rating allows you to get certified quickly and easily by minimizing time constraints. With the Scuba Diver certification you must dive under the direct supervision of a Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, Instructor or higher professional every time you dive, to a maximum depth of 12 metres.

- What do I need to start?

Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can earn their certification. You must be older than the age of 10 to begin the Scuba Diver program. 

 - What will I do?

You will be given access to the full suite of training materials and videos when you sign up for the course. These you can study at home, at work, on the move,,, just about anywhere. 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 dives.

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.
