PADI SCUBA DIVER COURSE
The PADI Scuba Diver Course allows divers to get a scuba diving certification and to learn the basic skills to dive safely
without too much time commitment.
PADI SCUBA DIVER COURSE
KOH TAO
This course can be completed in as little as 2 days, perfect for those with a limited time frame and will still give you a fulfilling PADI diving experience.
The PADI Scuba Diver Course is a subset of the PADI Open Water Course and aimed at people, who don’t have enough time to complete the full Open Water certification or only want to dive under supervision in the future anyways.
PADI Scuba Divers are trained to dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Divemaster, or PADI Instructor, to a maximum depth of 12 metres.
PADI SCUBA Diver
– Course Schedule –
Our PADI Open Water diver course schedule is flexible and we can adapt the itinerary to fit around your personal travel plans.
Part 1 : Theory
Starting with an introduction to your Instructor we will first finish all the necessary paperwork. Then we get you started with the theory.
The PADI Scuba Diver as a subset of the Open Water Diver covers 3 out of 5 chapters of the full course.
For each chapter there is a PADI video and knowledge reviews as self study to fill out. In these chapters you will get introduced to the basics of diving. After your self-study your Instructor will go through any missed questions and tell you more about, how this theory is actually used in real-life diving.
Topics include the scuba equipment, buoyancy control, safe diving practices, emergency procedures as well as the environment.
Each chapter will be finished with a little 10-question multiple choice quiz with a pass rate of 75%.
Part 2 : Confined Water Training
You will learn all the skills you need everyday as a diver, under supervision of a dive pro, as well as a few safety procedures just in case of the unlikely event that something goes wrong.
You will start in very shallow water to take your first breaths underwater to slowly progress into the deeper end of the pool to practice on skills like swimming underwater weightless.
This is the place to take all the time you need to gain the confidence you need as a safe diver. So at Crystal Dive we don’t set a time for you to practice your skills, but usually it takes between half a day to a full day to reach your goal. If you need more time, then you will get it – without any extra charge.
Part 3 : Open Water Dives
After you have gained your confidence and knowledge in the classroom and pool, it is time to get out to use all this in the final part of your course:
Your Open Water Dives.
The PADI Scuba Diver Course consists of 2 Open Water Dives. These dives will bring you to a maximum depth of 12 metres (40 feet) and give you plenty of time to practice your skills and underwater swimming which you have learned in the pool. Obviously you will have plenty of time to enjoy the underwater world and the fish & coral around Koh Tao.
After this you can call yourself a PADI Scuba Diver and it is time to celebrate your certification with a cold drink on the beach and your video in our bar, as you can get filmed on those final dives!
To upgrade this course in the future, you will need to complete 2 more chapters of each element and the final two dives. It can be upgraded at any time.
