padi awardThe world’s most popular Scuba Diving licence, If you want to get a diving licence during your holiday but are short for time then the PADI Scuba Diver is for you. In 2 days you will learn about scuba diving and the underwater environment then put your new knowledge into practice. The licence earned is valid worldwide and lifelong and can easily be upgraded to the full PADI Open Water. All our Scuba Diver courses are conducted by a PADI Instructor at a ratio of 2 to 1 max 4 to 1+ Divemaster! 90% are 2 to 1, when we say small teaching groups we mean small, this gives you the student more direct contact with the instructor!
The course takes normally 2 days, however extra tuition for people who are nervous is included in the normal price but can consume an extra day or so.
... dive any place in the world with your PADI card!

This course requires less time than the PADI Open Water Diver course, covering only the first three of five sections of knowledge development, the first three of five pool sessions, and the first two of four open water training dives, resulting in a limited certification. Particularly if you expect to go scuba diving primarily in the company of a dive guide or if you have limited time to devote to scuba certification, consider becoming a PADI Scuba Diver.

PADI Scuba Diver CertificateThis certification allows for ample dive experience and is a good warm-up for the Open Water Diver course, if that’s your ultimate goal.
