PADI Scuba Diving Courses

Whether you‟ve always dreamed of learning how to scuba dive, are looking to take your

skills to the next level, or are seeking a new

adventure beneath the waves, PADI scuba

certification courses cater for everyone. We

offer a range of courses and excursions from the

discovery level up to Advanced.

Discover Scuba Diving

The ideal option for those who aren‟t quite ready to take the plunge with a certification course, Discover

Scuba Diving teaches you how to use scuba

equipment in shallow water, and provides a quick

and easy introduction to the underwater world. The

course also gains you credit, as the experience counts

towards a PADI Scuba Diver or Open Water Diver

certification. Students must be at least 10 years old to

dive in the ocean; 8-10yr can participate in a pool

only bubble maker session. Ask for details.

Duration: 3 hours

Price: MZM 4,000

PADI Scuba Diver Course

If you expect to go scuba diving primarily in the

company of a dive guide, or if you have limited

time to devote to scuba certification, the PADI

Scuba Diver is the perfect choice. This course

requires less time than the PADI Open Water

Diver and covers the first three of five knowledge

development sections, the first three out of five

pool sessions, and the first two of four open water

training dives, resulting in a limited certification.

Duration: 8 hours over 2+ days

Price: MZM 11,200 per person

MZM 9,700 per person for 2+ pax

PADI Open Water Diver

The PADI Open Water Diver is the world‟s most popular scuba course, and has introduced millions of

people to an adventurous diving lifestyle. Covering

everything you need to know about basic scuba diving

skills, terminology and safety procedures, the course

consists of three main phases; knowledge

development modules to understand basic principles

of scuba diving, four confined water dives to learn

basic scuba skills, and four open water dives to review

your skills.




PADI Advanced Open Water

Offering exploration, excitement and diverse

experiences, the PADI Advanced Open Water

Diver course is designed to follow the PADI Open

Water Diver course, meaning that you don‟t need to be advanced to take it. The course helps to

increase confidence, enhance scuba skills and is a

great way to gain more dives under your belt. This

course builds on what you‟ve already learnt and develops your capabilities by introducing you to

new scuba activities.
