Please note

1. Health & Fitness

Your safety is the priority. All divers must complete a PADI Medical Questionnaire.

The Rule: If you can answer "No" to all the health questions, you’re good to go.

The Exception: If you answer "Yes" to any condition (like asthma, heart issues, or persistent sinus problems), you aren’t necessarily disqualified! It just means you need a physician’s signature on the medical form before you can get in the water.

Pro Tip: Download the form early so you have time to visit your doctor if needed.

2. Swimming Ability

You don’t need to be an Olympic athlete, but you must be comfortable in water too deep to stand in. For the Open Water Diver course, you will be asked to:

Float or tread water for 10 minutes without any swim aids.

Show basic water comfort (some instructors may ask for a short, untimed swim).

3. Age Requirements

Minimum Age: 12 years old.

Junior Divers: Divers aged 12–14 earn a "Junior" Scuba Diver certification, which comes with specific depth and supervision limits. This automatically upgrades to a standard certification when they turn 15.

4. Time Commitment

Duration: minimum of 5 days

Theory First: Most students prefer PADI eLearning. This allows you to finish all the "classroom" work online at home before you arrive, so you can spend your time at the club actually diving.
