PADI Junior Scuba Diver Course.
What is the PADI Junior Scuba Diver Course?
Completion of the PADI Junior Scuba Diver Course results in a pre-entry level diver certification that entitles you to dive only when accompanied by a PADI Divemaster, Assistant Instructor or Instructor to a maximum depth of 40ft/12M.
The benefits of this course are that it reduces the workload, cost and amount of time taken to achieve certification, and is particularly suitable for people who will only want to dive as part of a group led by a PADI Professional, such as when participating in guided dives whilst on holiday. Achieving this certification means that you will not have to repeat the PADI Discover Scuba Diving Experience every time you want to dive. The Junior Scuba Diver certification can be upgraded to Junior Open Water at any time (see below for details). Minimum age 10 yrs.
We offer flexible scheduling to make the most of your precious vacation time and you don't pay extra for small class sizes, one or two students is our normal class size. This way, you can be assured of our undivided attention which will soon have you diving like a professional.
