About

Diver certification begins here. Start with PADI’s online eLearning course. Move to the pool and practice your new skills.

During the PADI Open Water Diver course, you’ll learn what you need to know to explore the underwater world using scuba. Most people find it a rewarding challenge.

A highly trained PADI Instructor will teach you how to scuba dive in a relaxed, supportive learning environment.

By the end of the course, you'll have the skills and knowledge to finish your dive certification at home or abroad and be an ambassador for the underwater world.

Step 1: Knowledge Development
This covers the principles, concepts and terms you need to know for dive safety and enjoyment. Scuba.com offers PADI eLearning for the Knowledge Development portion of the class, allowing our students to complete the academics at their own pace and in the comfort of their own homes.

Step 2: Confined Water Dives
During the Confined Water Dives, you learn and practice scuba skills in a pool. You’ll enjoy making one or more mini dives, which take you through the same steps you follow when you make open water dives.

Step 3: Referrals
After you complete the confined water training, every student receives a referral form from our seasoned Scuba instructor to complete your open water checkout dives & certification anywhere in the world. The referral is valid for one year after your pool session is completed.
