COURSE DETAILS:

After completing the PADI Scuba Diver course, you can dive up to 12 meters/40 feet under direct supervision. You can rent or buy equipment, get air fills, and join supervised dive activities. You can further your training by earning the PADI Open Water Diver certification and taking specialty courses.


This course is eLearning based, that means you can complete your theory study in the comfort of your home at your own pace before arriving, and then just enjoying the practical training when getting here!


If instead you decide to take the course on the very last minute, you'll have plenty of time to complete it here in just one day, alternating own study and practical sessions. As the eLearning is an online program, you can complete it while enjoying our poolside, the beach or even in the comfort of your own hotel room.


The PADI Scuba Diver course is divided into three phases. 

  • Firstly, the Knowledge Development phase is completed through e-Learning; this phase covers the basic principles of scuba diving, and only the first three out of five sections covered in the Open Water Diver course need to be completed. 

  • Secondly, the Confined Water Dives, teach basic scuba skills. This phase includes only the first three out of five dives covered in the Open Water Diver course. 

  • Finally, the Open Water Dives phase allows you to apply your learned skills and explore. This phase includes only two out of four dives covered in the Open Water Diver course.
