| PADI SCUBA DIVER |
$320 | 2 1/2 Days |
| This
is the lowest level of certification that PADI offers. It is a lifetime
certification, but has some limitations. You can dive anywhere, but
you must be accompanied by a Dive Master, and there is a recommended
maximum depth limit of forty feet. Many people don't want to dive
without a Dive Master present anyway, so it may not be a problem.
If you want to rent tanks and dive on your own, you should go for
the Open Water certification rather than PADI Scuba Diver. Students
have the option to upgrade this certification to Full Open Water certification
within one year of completion of the course. The course takes less
time than the Full Open Water, and is a great option for those who
want a certification, but intend to dive only at resorts where Dive
Masters accompany all divers. Includes $25 for PADI Pic Card.
