PADI Scuba Diver

The PADI Scuba Diver is a pre-entry level certification and designed for the resort diver who does not have the available time to complete the full Open Water Course. This course is perfect for vacationers to Cape Town, South Africa, or any other destinations worldwide or for those who only plan to dive a few times a year.


With the PADI Scuba Diver certification you can dive up to 12 meters under the direct supervision of a PADI Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, Instructor or higher professional on your next vacation or dive trip for the period of 12 months. During this 12 month period you can complete the remaining training, either in Cape Town South Africa, or at any PADI dive centre in the world, and in doing this, upgrade to a full Open Water Diver certification


Virtually anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can earn a Scuba Diver certification. If you are between 10 and 14 or have a child between these ages, there is a PADI Junior Scuba Diver program available.
