Scuba Diver - PADI Course
If you enjoyed your ‘try dive’, (of course you did!) give us a day of your time and we will turn you into a certified card carrying Scuba Diver. A little evening study followed next morning by a simple quiz, some basic scuba exercises in the pool or off the beach, and a return trip to the reef is all it takes to get you immersed in what we believe is the coolest sport of all.
Your entry level certification is accepted throughout the world, but limits you to a 40 foot maximum dive with a qualified dive leader. Your next step is to complete the Open Water.
Basic entry certification level: Duration 2 days.
Minimum age 10 years.

A little more theory work, including a more detailed introduction to the various effects of pressure at depth upon the diver, some more pool training, two further-and deeper-ocean dives, and a final exam complete the package. Your knowledge of dive equipment and its functions underwater is enhanced, as is your ability to maintain improved buoyancy and your understanding of safey for both yourself and your dive buddy.
