SCUBA Diver
PADI Scuba Diver Course
Short on time and have the urge to become a certified diver? The PADI Scuba Diver certification might just be for you.
This course requires less time than the PADI Open Water Diver 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. Particularly 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.

The Fun Part
With less time than the Scuba Diver course takes, you can make the jump to Open Water Diver certification and start scuba diving independently whenever time allows or you’re up for more.
This course is perfect for the person that has no time and is about to head away on a holiday where the dive will be guided by a Divemaster.
What You Learn
During the course you’ll cover material and practice skills related to topics such as:
- Buoyancy skills including comfortable ascents and descents, and breathing underwater
- Staying warm underwater, streamlining your swimming skills and buddy diving techniques
- Diving environments and aquatic life you’re likely to encounter
- Preventing common problems underwater
The SCUBA Gear You Use
- Mask
- Snorkel
- Fins
- Booties
You’ll use all the basic scuba gear and some of it may be included with your course.
A buoyancy compensating jacket that holds your scuba tank, a scuba regulator that delivers air, a weight system and instrumentation to monitor depth and air supply will also be used. You will wear a scuba wetsuit to enhance the comfort and relaxation during the PADI Scuba Diver Course.
The Learning Materials You Need
For each concept you’ll read a description and watch a video demonstration. Once you’re a certified diver, use the course materials as a reference guide for future diving adventures.
