Who it's for: People ages 10 yrs and over*, who wish to learn to dive, but don't have sufficient time to undertake the PADI Open Water Course.
Duration: Two to three days.
Description: Ideal for those with time restraints, the PADI Scuba Diver provides pre-entry level certification in 2-3 days. On completion of this course, you'll be certified to dive with the supervision of a PADI Divemaster or above, to a depth of 12m. This certification is valid for life and can be upgraded to a PADI Open Water Diver certification if additional training modules are taken. Once qualified, PADI Scuba Divers wishing to take part in recreational diving may have to pay a supplement locally for the services of a private guide.

Where can I do the PADI Scuba Diver Course?
You can complete the PADI Scuba Diver at a number of our approved dive centres across the Red Sea:

• In Sharm el Sheikh with Red Sea Diving College or Red Sea Waterworld
• In Dahab with Reef 2000
• In Nuweiba with Emperor Divers
• In Taba & Taba Heights with Red Sea Waterworld or Aqua-Sport
