Padi Scuba Diver

The two day ‘Scuba Diver’ course was designed for those who don’t have enough time to complete the entire Open Water Diver course in one go or if somebody needs to interrupt this course for any reason. The Scuba Diver course offers a fast and convenient way for everybody from the age of 10 years old to obtain their first internationally recognised scuba certification.

Course Contents

• Preparation
Once you have signed up for the Scuba Diver course you will be given the PADI GO DIVE Manual which you need to reed and comlete the knowledge reviews of the first chapter.

• Knowledge development (Day 1)
Your instructor will close knowledge gaps and eliminate misinterpretations by using a video and verbal presentation.

• Pool training (Day 1)
Our swimming pool offers a depth of 1,50 meters / 4,50 feet. Your instructor will explain and slowly demonstrate each and every skill for you and give you enough time to practice. We will also check if you are able to swim and feel comfortable in the water.

• Open water training (Day 2)
During your course you will participate in two open water training dives to a maximum depth of 12 meters / 40 feet which will last 40-60 minutes each dive. The first dive does not contain any formal skills but gets you acclimatised to the new environment. During the second dive you will repeat the skills you have already learnt in the pool and apply them to open water situations. Both dives offer plenty of time to discover the underwater world and explore the tropical reefs of ko Haa or Phi Phi.
