Description

You are only in Mexico for a couple of days and really want to become a diver? The PADI Scuba Diver course requires less time than the PADI Open Water Diver course. You only need to complete the first three of the five knowledge reviews, the first three of five confined water sessions, and two of the four open water dives.

If you primarily wish to dive with a dive guide, then this course might be right for you.

This is your intermediate step for earning your PADI Open Water diver course certification if this is your ultimate goal

Academics

The PADI Scuba Diver course consists of three main phases:

  • Knowledge Development to understand basic principles of scuba diving – just the first three of five sections of the PADI Open Water diver course

  • Confined Water Dives to learn basic scuba skills – just the first three of five dives of the PADI Open Water Diver course

  • Open Water Dives to use your skills and explore – just two of four dives of the PADI Open Water Diver course

 

 

getting started

Enroll in PADI Open Water Diver Online – PADI’s eLearning option – and you can start learning right away.

If you wish to have more free time while on vacation, the entire course can be done in just one day if the eLearning is completed before arrival. A code will be sent to you upon receiving a deposit for your course

after arriving on the island

The elearning may be completed while on the island but you will need to complete key components before being able to proceed with certain sections of the course. Time allowance has been made during your course to allow for study. You still have the benefit of being able to study in the place of your choosing, be it in your hotel room, beach, or beside our swimming pool

equipment

All equipment required is included in the course. 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.

REQUIREMENTS

To enroll, 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.
