Scuba Diver Course
The Scuba Diver course is a training program that certifies the diver to dive up to 12m with professional supervision.
The pool training portion typically takes 1 session (although depending on the diver, additional sessions may be required). Afterwards, the student will need to complete 2 Open Water dives.
Details:
- Academic development: this can be done online before you come here, or over the course of 3-3.5 hours of video/online sessions once you are here. Here, you learn more about the physics, physiology and other aspects of diving and the underwater world. In addition, there is an online session with an instructor reviewing and building upon this theory.
- Confined Water training: This is half a day (usually) of skills training, where you learn more about dive equipment as well as master the various skills needed to dive safely.
- 2 Open Water dives: these are deep water dives, where you practice the skills you have learned in confined water and also get to experience and enjoy the magic of the underworld world.
Our pool training program covers the theory and the confined water training sessions.
Pre-requisites:
- Minimum age – 10
- Maximum age – none (subject to fitness/medical clearance)
- Ability to float or tread water for 10 minutes without needing any external support

This is all inclusive and covers all academics, pool training, gear rental, mandatory training materials and certification costs.
Other Info:
The first level of diver certification is actually the Open Water course, which trains a diver to dive independently up to 18m without professional supervision. We recommend that as the course for most divers.
The Scuba Diver course is primarily for divers who either lack the time to do the full course or are not comfortable enough in the water to be certified as full Open Water: it provides a way to continue diving in a controlled environment till they acquire enough comfort to then complete the Open Water certification.
