The PADI Scuba Diver Course Standards and Overview
The PADI Scuba Diver course is a sub-course within the Open Water Diver course. It
opens diving to those individuals with time constraints, and those interested in diving
in groups and tours guided by a certified dive master, assistant instructor or instructor.

All standards that apply to student divers in the PADI Open Water Diver course apply
to student divers in the PADI Scuba Diver course, with the following exception: Certifi-
cation as a Scuba Diver requires successful completion of only the first three sections
of Knowledge Development (including quizzes), the first three Confined Water Dives
and Open Water Dives 1 and 2.

PADI Scuba Divers must only complete the 10-minute swim/float demonstrating that
they can comfortably maintain themselves in water too deep to stand up in prior to
Open Water Dive 2. Student divers must also successfully complete the Dive Flexible
Skills, Snorkel and Regulator Exchange, Tired Diver Tow and Cramp Removal. Students
must also read and sign the PADI Scuba Diver Statement prior to certification. All other
standards apply.

Upon completion of the course, the diver shall receive a certification card from PADI
denoting SCUBA DIVER certification.
