About the course

The PADI Scuba Diver course is for people who want to dive safely without doing the full Open Water Diver course just yet. You dive under professional supervision to a depth of 12 meters (40 feet).

It suits travelers and anyone curious about scuba diving, especially if you’re planning a short holiday in Lakshadweep or another tropical dive destination.

It is also an easy way to start scuba diving in India. Lakshadweep has some of the most unspoilt reefs in the country.

What will you learn?

Complete 3 knowledge development sessions included in your PADI eLearning. You’ll watch the embedded videos and complete knowledge reviews with quizzes at the end of each chapter. This course is a subset of the PADI Open Water Diver course and includes:

  • Basics of scuba diving principles and techniques
  • Confined water sessions to develop essential scuba skills
  • Open water dives to practice skills and explore the underwater world
  • Safety procedures, underwater communication, and buoyancy control
  • Proper gear usage including mask, fins, BCD, regulator, and gauges

Diving

Complete 3 confined water sessions and 2 open water dives (maximum 12 metres depth)

Why take the PADI Scuba Diver course with Lak Scuba?

  • A PADI certification, recognised worldwide as a supervised-diver level: you dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional, to 12 metres. A Scuba Diver is not certified to dive independently.
  • Learn in the clear water of Lakshadweep, one of the best places to dive in India.
  • Low student-to-instructor ratios mean you get personal attention.
  • The equipment is modern, well maintained and included in your course.
  • We handle the arrangements, so you can just show up and dive.
