Step into the life-changing world of SCUBA diving with this PADI certification course.

If you’ve always wanted to take scuba diving lessons, experience unparalleled adventure and see the world beneath the waves, this is where it starts. Get your SCUBA diving certification with the PADI® Scuba Diver course – the world’s most popular and widely recognized scuba course. Millions of people have learned to scuba dive and gone on to discover the wonders of the aquatic world through this course. To enroll in a PADI Scuba Diver course (or Junior Scuba Diver course), you must be 10 years old or older. You need adequate swimming skills and need to be in good physical health. No prior experience with scuba diving is required, but you can try it first through the Discover Scuba® Diving program.

The PADI Scuba Diver course consists of two main phases:

Step 01 - Knowledge Development

The knowledge development portion of the course is designed so you can learn at your own pace and when it's convenient for you. Complete the academics online through PADI eLearning.

Step 02 - Confined Water Dives

Develop and practice SCUBA skills in a pool or water with pool-like conditions under direct instructor supervision. As you learn new skills, you’ll build the abilities and confidence needed for diving in open water, such as in a lake or the ocean. Rental gear is included for this portion of the course

In the PADI Scuba Diver course, you learn to use basic SCUBA gear, including a mask, snorkel, fins, regulator, buoyancy control device and a tank.

Time Commitment

PADI courses are performance-based, enabling you to progress at your own pace. This type of learning ensures competent and prepared divers. Course completion varies by individual.

Cost

Learning to SCUBA dive is comparable to other popular adventure sports and outdoor activities. You can expect to pay about the same as you would for a full day of surf lessons, a weekend of rock climbing lessons or about three hours of private golf lessons.

Essential Gear

The fit and comfort of your personal equipment are keys to having an enjoyable diving experience. At a minimum, you’ll be required to own your own mask, snorkel, fins, cutting tool and surface marker buoy (SMB) when you begin your first course. The Key Largo Dive Center can help you select gear that’s right for you.

Earning a PADI Scuba Diver certification shows that you met the course requirements. Dive centers and resorts require proof of certification before they will rent scuba equipment, fill SCUBA cylinders or book dive excursions.
