On holiday with limited spare time ? Looking for a Scuba Diving Course ?
The Scuba Diver course takes less time than the PADI Open Water Diver Course because it covers only the first three out of the five sections for knowledge development and pool sessions, and the first two out of the four Open Water Training Dives.

Therefore, this 'limited' Scuba Diving Certification is ideal if you expect to go diving with a professional dive guide, or if you're short on time during your dive vacation. This PADI Diving Course is a great way to get a Scuba Certificate and Upgrade later to the Open Water Diver.

What are the requirements before I start my Scuba Diver Course ?
Anyone who is in good health, reasonably fit, and comfortable in the water can become a Certified Diver.
(minimum age: 10 years old)

What will I learn in the PADI Scuba Diver Course ?
During this course, dive students learn the basics of Scuba Diving through knowledge development, mastering scuba skills in a controlled environment and then repeating them in the two Open Water Dives. Some of the topics that will be covered by your Diving Instructor during your Scuba Lesson will include;

• Breathing Underwater
• Buoyancy Control, Ascents/Descents
• Streamlining your Swimming Skills and Buddy Diving Techniques
• The Diving Environment and Aquatic Life Behaviour
• Preventing common problems Underwater
• An Introduction to Boat Diving

The underwater world will keep you coming back for more fun and adventure every chance you get!

How long does it take to complete the Scuba Diver Course ?
It's possible to complete the theory, pool skills and two dives in one day. The theory consists of learning information from a dive manual, video or multi-media and three short multiple choice quizes. There are three corresponding pool or confined water skill sessions, and the course is completed by making two open water dives to a maximum of twelve meters. Therefore, most student divers take two days to complete the course at a more relaxed pace.

What's included in the price ?

• Your own dedicated Private Scuba Instructor
• Free Rental of modern Scuba Diving Equipment (regularly maintained and serviced)
• Three Classroom Sessions
• Three Pool Dives
• Two Scuba Dives in the Open Water Environment
• Transfers to and from your Pattaya Hotel
• Food and soft drinks on the Dive Boat
• The Padi Scuba Diver Certification Card

Do I need any extra Dive Equipment or Study Materials ?
The study materials required for the course are excluded from the price* because many divers are now learning to dive online using PADI 'eLearning' facility. However, the PADI Diving Manuals and training materials can easily be purchased from the Dive Center.

The Diving Equipment that's required for the Scuba Diver Course is included in the price. This Standard Scuba Equipment would include a Mask & Snorkel, Scuba Wetsuit, Buoyancy Control Device (BCD), Scuba Regulator set, Scuba Tanks, Weight System and Fins.

Extra diving equipment that you may wish to purchase for your scuba lessons could be a Dive Computer, Divers Watch, Dive Compass, Waterproof Camera, Dive Knife, Diving Gloves and a Dive Log Book which are available from the Dive School.

What are my next Scuba Adventures in Pattaya ?
The Scuba Diver Certification is a quick and easy way to start diving with an internationally recognised and respected Diving Licence. However, because there are limitations to this level, so you may choose to upgrade to Open Water Diver which then allows you to Start Scuba Diving independently of an Instructor.
