What Our Divers Say






frequently asked questions
Why PADI?
- PADI is the world’s largest scuba diving training organization and the most widely recognized dive certification in the world, with 30,000,000 PADI-certified divers and counting. PADI sets the standard for the highest quality dive training, underwater safety, and conservation initiatives while promoting the benefits of underwater connection. With PADI eLearning, you can study at your own pace to achieve the dive knowledge and fundamentals required to confidently advance to your in-water training. With over 6,600 PADI Dive Centers and resorts across the globe and 128,000 PADI Professionals worldwide, it’s easy to complete your dive training.
How do I get started in Scuba Diving?
-
There are three steps to becoming a certified diver: knowledge development, In-water training, and open water dives.
Knowledge development is the first step and requirement for a recreational Open Water Diver certification. PADI eLearning is an independent study option that lets you learn at your own pace, providing the knowledge and fundamentals you will need to confidently advance to your in-water training with a PADI Instructor.
In-water training: During this step, you will practice your dive skills and learn how to use your scuba gear with a PADI Professional in a pool or pool-like environment. These practice dives will help you build your confidence before you begin your open water dive training.
Open water training: During this third and final step you will complete four open water dives with a PADI Instructor to complete your PADI dive certification.
Am I too old to take a scuba diving course?
- No, it’s never too late to start diving. You only need to be in good health and reasonably fit. All PADI students are required to complete a medical questionnaire prior to diving. Some regions also require a doctor’s medical statement confirming you’re medically fit to dive prior to course enrollment/diving. As diving has inherent risks, minimum age limits are in place to ensure children can understand dive theory and react to situations responsibly, but there is no maximum limit.
How long does it take to learn scuba diving?
-
The first level of a scuba certification is Scuba Diver, which can b completed in as little as 2 days on average. If you want to extend your certification to Open Water Diver it can be completed in as little as 4 days.
The independent study using PADI’s digital learning program (eLearning) takes about eight hours. In-water work with a professional PADI Dive Instructor includes pool training and open water dives.
PADI courses are flexible and performance-based, which means you progress at your own pace. Once you and your instructor feel confident that you've mastered a skill, you’ll move on to the next one. If you want to try a new skill a few more times, that’s okay too. The goal is for you to learn how to be a safe, confident diver and feel comfortable in the water. That means the actual course duration may vary to allow the performance-based setup, ensuring each skill is thoroughly learned before advancing.
Do you need to know how to swim to scuba dive?
-
You need basic swimming skills and the ability to comfortably maintain yourself in the water. Your PADI instructor will ask you to:
- Swim 200 meters/yards (or 300 meters/yards wearing a mask, fins, and snorkel) without stopping.
- There is no time limit, and you may use any swimming strokes you want.
- Float and tread water for 10 minutes, using any method(s) you want.
How deep do beginner scuba divers go?
-
Your PADI Instructor will be by your side the entire time. Your first dives will be to 12 meters/40 feet or shallower. The maximum depth allowed for any dive during the Scuba Diver Course is 12 meters/40 feet and 18 meters/60 feet during the Open Water Course.
Do women have any special concers regarding diving?
-
Aside from pregnancy, no. Because physiologists know little about the effects of diving on the fetus, the recommendation is that women avoid diving while pregnant or trying to become pregnant. Menstruation is not normally a concern.
How long does scuba certification last?
-
Your scuba diving certification is for life! However, diving regularly is highly recommended to maintain your dive skills and knowledge. Try to avoid long periods without diving (6 months or longer). If you haven’t been scuba diving recently, you should take the PADI Reactivate Scuba Refresher.
Can people with physical challenges learn to dive?
-
Yes. People with missing limbs, reduced mobility, or other physical challenges commonly earn the PADI Open Water Diver certification. Even individuals with more significant physical or mental challenges can still take part in scuba experiences. Talk to your PADI Instructor at your local PADI Dive Center or Resort for more information.
All student divers complete a brief scuba medical questionnaire that asks about medical conditions that could be a problem while diving and will determine if you need to be evaluated by a physician before being able to scuba dive. If the doctor approves, or none of the conditions applied to you, you're ready to start!
