The PADI Scuba Diver course is a subset of the Open Water course. If you’re short on time but really want to become a diver, the 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.

PADI Scuba Divers are qualified to dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional to a maximum depth of 12 metres/40 feet. They can also obtain air fills, rent or purchase scuba equipment and participate in dive activities as long as properly supervised. Finally if desired, continue dive training by completing the Open Water Diver certification and taking certain specialty diver courses.

What it consists of:

• Knowledge Development (online independent study or in a classroom) to understand the basic principles of scuba diving – just the first three of five sections of the Open Water Diver course.
• Confined Water Dives to learn basic scuba skills – just the first three of five dives of the Open Water Diver course
• Open Water Dives to put your skills into practice and explore – just two of four dives of the Open Water Diver course.

At the end you will be a certified scuba diver which you can then choose to go diving anywhere in the world to a depth of 12 meters with a PADI professional. If you desire it, you then would need only 1-2 days to complete your full Open Water certification.
