Scuba Diver Course

The PADI Scuba Diver course is a 2-3 days course
to get a first diving certification.

This is the first step to get the Open Water certification
if you don’t have time to do the full course.

Once certified, you can dive with some restrictions
and finish the course anywhere and any time.

The course is divided in 3 parts :

• Knowledge development  :You will have access to the PADI digital Open Water manual. This part can be done online at home before your vacation. The course consists in 3 academic modules with videos, 2 short quizzes.
• Confined Water sessions : In shallow water, you will practice different skills with your instructor. The skills learned in these sessions will help you throughout your life as a diver to enjoy and dive safely in all conditions. There are 3 confined water sessions in total, which your instructor will schedule during your training in 1 or 2 sessions, depending on your needs and abilities. We usually do 1 half-day of confined water sessions.
• 2 Open Water training dives : You will complete 2 training dives in the sea from our boat, where, under the supervision of your instructor, you will apply the skills you have just learned during the other sessions, and enjoy exploring of our local reefs. Those 2 dives are done in 1 half-day (2 dives per day in the morning, from 8:30 am to 1 pm).

At the end of the course, you will receive the PADI Scuba Diver certification, and will be able to dive everywhere in the world with a Divemaster at a maximum depth of 12 m (40 ft).

Do you have more than 2 days for your diving course? Consider joining the Open Water course (4 days) to do the full certification.
