DISCOVER SCUBA DIVING

Have you always wondered what it's like to breathe underwater? If you want to try scuba diving, but aren't quite ready to take the plunge into a certification course, Discover Scuba Diving is for you

A quick and easy introduction into what it takes to explore the underwater world. Although this is not a scuba certification course, you'll learn all the steps it takes to be a PADI certified diver.

OPEN WATER DIVER

Diver certification begins here

The PADI Open Water Diver course includes three parts: Knowledge Development, Confined Water Dives, and Open Water Dives. Knowledge Development covers the principles, concepts and terms you need to know for dive safety and enjoyment. During the Confined Water Dives, you learn and practice scuba skills in a pool or water with pool-like conditions. You'll enjoy making one or more minidives, which take you through the same steps you follow when you make open water dives. To complete training you practice, apply and demonstrate what you learn during four Open Water Dives at a local dive site.

SCUBA DIVER

Short on time? but really want to become a diver, the PADI Scuba Diver might be right for you

The PADI Scuba Diver course is a subset of the PADI Open Water Diver. If you're short on time the PADI Scuba Diver rating might be right for you ̶ particularly if you expect to go scuba diving primarily with a dive guide. This course is an intermediate step for earning an Open Water Diver certification, if that's your ultimate goal.

ADVANCED OPEN WATER DIVER

This course can be taken after completing the PADI Open Water Diver certification to enhance your diving knowledge & skills.

The PADI Advanced Open Water Diver is designed to improve your underwater knowledge and skills. You can enrol immediately after earning your PADI Open Water Diver certification regardless of your skill level. The course helps you build confidence in navigation, fine-tune buoyancy skills and introduces you to different diving activities such as wreck diving, night diving and navigation.

RESCUE DIVER

Learn to prevent and manage problems in the water, and become more confident in your skills as a diver.

The PADI Rescue Diver course teaches you techniques to avoid and manage problems and improve your confidence as a diver. During the course you'll become a better buddy by enhancing your ability to identify potential problems and by practicing dive emergency protocol. The subject is serious but the training is fun - many divers tell us the PADI Rescue Diver course was their favourite! It's challenging, yet very rewarding.

EMERGENCY FIRST RESPONSE

Discover simple to follow steps for emergency care

Emergency First Response training focuses on building confidence in lay rescuers and increasing their willingness to respond when faced with a medical emergency. Course participants learn simple to follow steps for emergency care and practice applying skills in a non stressful learning environment. All courses are supported by self-study materials, videos and quick reference cards to enhance learning and allow you start learning right away.
EFR courses meet the CPR and first aid training requirements for the PADI Rescue Diver Course and all professional-level ratings.

PADI SPECIALTY COURSES

MASTER SCUBA DIVER

DIVE MASTER

Be a leader who mentors and motivates others. Gain dive knowledge, supervision abilities, and become a role model to divers around the world.

The PADI Divemaster course teaches you to be a leader and take charge of dive activities. Through knowledge development sessions, in-water skills exercises and workshops, and hands-on practical assessment, you develop the skills to organize and direct a variety of scuba diving activities.

Before you can enrol in a PADI Divemaster course, you must be 18 years old and have the following certifications:

Open Water Diver

Advanced Open Water Diver

Rescue Diver

Emergency First Response

ASSISTANT INSTRUCTOR AND INSTRUCTOR

There are many reasons to become a divemaster or scuba instructor: to work and travel, to share your love of the underwater world with others, or simply for the personal challenge.

Divemaster is a prerequisite to becoming a scuba instructor.

If you’re already a PADI Divemaster (or hold a leadership-level certification with another training agency), you can enrol in a PADI Instructor or Assistant Instructor course.
