PADI Scuba Diver Course

The PADI Scuba Diver certification is the first step to learning to dive. This diving 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 the four open water training dives. The SCUBA diver course is great way to take that first step into scuba diving and can be upgraded to Open Water level at any of PADI world-wide dive centre’s and resort. If you expect to go scuba diving primarily in the company of a dive guide or if you have limited time or limited budget, then becoming a PADI Scuba Diver is the right choice.

This certification provides you with basic dive experience and is a good warm-up for the Open Water Diver course along with skills that will enable you to really enjoy diving here in Tenerife.

PADI Scuba Divers are qualified to:

Dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Divemaster, Assistant Instructor or Instructor to a maximum depth of 12 metres / 40 feet
Obtain air fills, rent or purchase scuba equipment and participate in other diving activities as long as they have the required supervision
Continue their dive training and complete PADI Open Water Diver certification and other courses such as Project AWARE and equipment specialty courses
