FAQs
What is the Junior Open Water Diver Course?
Junior Open Water Diver is a special scuba certification for divers who are at least 10 years old but younger than 15. The Junior Open Water Diver course covers the same material as the standard PADI Open Water Diver course, but it’s adapted for younger children and taken by instructors who have recieved extra training for working with younger children.
How healthy do I need to be?
A certain degree of fitness is required but it is entirely within the reach of most people and adaptions can be made where required to support your SCUBA adventure. Generally, if you get your grocery shopping in from the car and walk up and down stairs then you will be more than fit enough to enjoy SCUBA.
Please review the medical form and speak to us if you have any concerns.
Am I fit enough to SCUBA dive?
Some swimming ability is required. You need to have basic swim skills and be able to comfortably maintain yourself in the water. Your PADI Instructor will assess this by having you:
Swim 200 metres/yards (or 300 metres/yards in mask, fins and snorkel). There is no time limit for this, and you may use any swimming strokes you want.
Float and tread water for 10 minutes, again using any methods you want.
What are the requirements for learning to scuba dive?
The minimum age is 10 years old to go to Open Water, kids as young as 8 are welcome in the pool to practice skills and to learn the basics.
Student divers who are younger than 15 earn the PADI Junior Open Water Diver certification, which they may upgrade to PADI Open Water Diver certification upon reaching 15.
How much do scuba lessons cost?
Learning to scuba dive is a great value when you consider that you learn to dive under the guidance and attention of a highly trained, experienced professional – your PADI Instructor. What’s more, you receive a certification to scuba dive at the end of a PADI Open Water Diver course (few other activities can offer that).
From the first day, scuba diving starts transforming your life with new experiences you can share with friends. And you can do it almost anywhere there is water. Start learning with eLearning and get ready to take your first breaths underwater!
How long does it take to get certified?
The PADI Open Water Diver course is flexible and performance based, which means that your PADI dive shop can offer a wide variety of schedules, organized according to how fast you progress. It’s possible to complete your confined and open water dives in three or four days by completing the knowledge development portion via PADI eLearning, or other home study options offered by your local dive shop or resort.
Your PADI Instructor will focus on helping you become a confident and comfortable diver, not on how long it takes. You earn your certification based on demonstrating you know what you need to know and can do what you need to do. This means that you progress at your own pace – faster or slower depending upon the time you need – to become a competent scuba diver.
