PADI Scuba Diver
The PADI Scuba Diver course is ideal for individuals who would prefer to do their scuba diving whilst accompanied by a PADI Divemaster or Instructor. It is a sub-course within the full Open Water Diver course and is ideal for those who want to start their diver training without making a commitment to the full Open Water Course (PADI Scuba Divers can upgrade to PADI Open Water Divers anytime after certification). The course consists of self study, academic sessions with your Instructor, 3 confined water sessions & 2 open water sea dives [either from a boat or shore] where you'll put into practice the skills you've learnt whilst you explore the underwater world. On successful completion of the course you'll be awarded the PADI Scuba Diver certification card which is recognised worldwide.
