PADI SCUBA Diving Program: Learn to Scuba Dive in Three Easy Steps
Your beginner scuba training follows three required steps—so you build knowledge and confidence before heading into open water.
- Classroom Sessions
Classroom sessions consist of a comprehensive lecture series required to complete your training. Scuba Network® offers an atmosphere of fun and knowledge, which makes your required attendance easy. Note: An online course (e-Learning) is also required in addition to these live classroom sessions.
- Pool Sessions
Experience the excitement as you learn to breathe underwater in a controlled setting, before going into the ocean. Classes are held monthly, and your gear is provided.
- Open Water Dives (for an additional fee)
Four open water dives and a snorkeling dive, with an instructor, are required to complete your certification process. These dives can be completed:
- Locally with your instructor
