PADI Scuba Diver Certificate
The PADI Scuba Diver is the first course that leads to a diving certification.
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. It requires less time than the Open Water 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. |

Theory Sessions from 7pm - 8pm Water Time is from 8pm - 9pm (For intensive courses we work out side of these times, on request to suit you, limited only by the pool availability)
