SCUBA Diver Course

The PADI Scuba Diver course consists of three main phases:

• Knowledge Development (online, independent study or in a classroom) to understand basic principles of scuba diving – just the first three of five sections of the Open Water Diver course.
• Confined Water Dives to learn basic scuba skills – just the first three of five dives of the Open Water Diver course
• Open Water Dives to use your skills and explore – just two of four dives of the Open Water Diver course.

You learn to use basic scuba gear, including:

• mask, snorkel and fins,
• regulator,
• buoyancy control device,
• dive gauges and a tank.

The equipment you wear varies, depending upon the water temperature. One of Pissouri Bay Divers experienced Instructors will explain the equipment you need and may suggest additional educational materials, such as the required logbook.
