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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
