PADI Youth Diving Programs
 

Discover Scuba - (Minimum age 10)
The PADI Discover Scuba Diving program introduces people to scuba diving in a highly supervised
and relaxed manner. It dispels common misconceptions about scuba by letting individuals try it for themselves. Under the guidance of a PADI professional, new divers learn basic safety concepts, put
on equipment and swim around underwater in a closely supervised environment.

The PADI Discover Scuba Diving program can take place in a swimming pool, protected confined open water area and at an open water dive site — anywhere an appropriate, positive introduction to scuba diving is possible. After trying scuba, many new divers may decide to repeat the experience. If not immediately, then on other occasions or in different areas. Others will choose to pursue certification
by enrolling in a PADI Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver course.

The desired result is to excite people about scuba diving and encourage additional participation. When certain requirements are met, new divers may earn credit toward PADI Scuba Diver and Open Water Diver certification.

Open Water Certification - (Minimum age 15)
T he PADI Open Water Diver course teaches student divers the foundational knowledge and skills they need to dive with a buddy, independent of super vision. The Scuba Diver course is a subcourse within the Open Water Diver course that teaches student divers the foundational knowledge and skills they need to dive under the supervision of a certified divemaster, assistant instructor or instructor. Discussions regarding the standards, philosophy and structure of the Open Water Diver course apply equally to the Scuba Diver course, unless otherwise noted.

Scuba Review - (Minimum age 10)
The Scuba Review program consists of two parts — a Knowledge Review and a Confined Water Skills Review. There is also an optional open water dive.

The Knowledge Review segment covers the basic safety information divers learn during their entry-level training. Minimum age: 10 years old

Divers use the Scuba Tune-up Multimedia or guidebook to independently test their knowledge and/or under a PADI Member’s guidance complete the Open Water Diver course quizzes and exam.
The Confined Water Skills Review allows participants to practice basic scuba skills. With guidance from a PADI Member, divers update and fine-tune their diving ability.

A supervised open water dive (see Discover Local Diving) is an optional addition to the program for certified divers. This dive offers an opportunity to obtain an environmental orientation to a local dive site from a PADI Member while gaining confidence and refreshing dive skills.
