PADI Scuba Diver

If you've always wanted to learn how to scuba dive, Oceandivers can help you discover new adventures and see the wonderous world beneath the waves. PADI Scuba Diver course is a subset of the Open Water Diver course.

The Fun Part

There is nothing like breathing underwater for the very first time. It takes a little getting used to, but after a few minutes of awestruck wonder, most participants realise how easy scuba diving really is. The biggest challenge for Oceandivers is coaxing Scuba Diving participants out of the water when the program is over. The fun part? It's all fun! We go at your pace, and those first feelings of apprehension quickly drift away into pure joy!


What You Learn

You learn the basics you need to dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional. One thing you'll learn is that you really can breathe underwater and whether you like doing that or not. You will:

  • Learn what wearing scuba equipment feels like and how easy it is to move around underwater while wearing it

  • Find out what it's like to breathe underwater and learn whether you can be comfortable there

  • Learn some basic skills and safety rules that will carry over to your full scuba certification course when you take the next step


The Scuba Gear You Use

All the equipment you will need is included in a Discover Scuba Diving experience. You'll use all the basic scuba gear, including a mask and snorkel, fins, a shorty wetsuit, a buoyancy compensating jacket (BCD) that carries your weights and scuba tank, a scuba regulator to breathe from, and instrumentation to monitor depth and air supply. 


The Learning Materials You Need To Bring

Just your willingness and undivided attention, plus your normal togs and towel.


Prerequisites

To enroll in a PADI Scuba Diver course (or Junior Scuba Diver course), you must be 10 years old or older. You need to have adequate swimming skills and be in good physical health. No prior experience with scuba diving is required, but you can try it first through the PADI Discover Scuba Diving program.
