PADI Scuba Diver Course in Playa del Carmen

The PADI Scuba Diver course consists of three main phases:

1. Knowledge development to understand the basics of scuba diving

2. Confined water/ pool dives to learn basic scuba skills

3. Open water dives to use your skills and explore

The PADI Scuba Diver course is an intermediate step for earning an Open Water Diver certification:

PADI Scuba Divers are qualified to:

1. Dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional to a maximum depth of 12m/ 40 ft.

2. Obtain air fills, rent or purchase scuba equipment and participate in dive activities as long as properly supervised.

3. Continue dive training by completing the PADI Open Water Diver certification or taking certain specialty diver courses.

The PADI Scuba Diver course is a subset of the PADI Open Water Diver course. If you’re short on time but really want to become a diver, the PADI Scuba Diver rating might be right for you   ̶ particularly if you expect to go scuba diving primarily with a dive guide. This course is an intermediate step for earning an Open Water Diver certification, if that’s your ultimate goal.
