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:
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, but you can try it first through the discover scuba®diving program.
The PADI Scuba Diver course consists of three main phases:
You learn to use basic scuba gear, including a mask, snorkel, fins, regulator, buoyancy control device and a tank.
The equipment you wear varies, depending upon whether you’re diving in tropical, temperate or cold water.
Your padi instructor will explain the equipment you need and may suggest additional educational materials, such as the required logbook.
Check with your local dive center to get advice about everything you need for your diving adventures.
Get started by registering for open water diver elearning (a mobile app).
There are also other home study options like the open water diver manual and open water diver video (a book and DVD package).
Stop by your local padi dive shop to enroll in the course, get your materials and start reading the book and watching the video.
Your padi instructor will meet with you to schedule knowledge review sessions, confined water and open water dives.
Check-in, meet your instructor and complete necessary paperwork. Any diver under 18 years will need a parent or guardian with them (or we can email paperwork in advance).
