PADI Scuba Certification
Your PADI Open Water lessons are divided into three sections:
Frequently Asked Questions
- The minimum age for diving is 10, with additional restrictions placed on those under 12 years of age.
- Students 14 and younger will earn their Junior Open Water Certification.
- Children ages 12-14 must dive with a certified adult, who is at least 18 years of age.
- Children ages 10-11 must dive with a parent or instructor as well as meet other qualifications.
Other Potential Restrictions:
- Athletic Ability – The swimming requirement is a 200-yard swim (or 300-yard swim with mask, fins, and snorkel) and 10 minute tread or float.
- Medical Conditions – Each dive student will fill out a brief medical questionnaire be fore beginning the course. The purpose of this questionnaire is to determine if a physician should examine you prior to participating in recreational diving training.
Most of what you need for the pool dives is provided (wetsuits, tanks, regulators, BCD’s, etc.). We want our new students to learn on equipment that is comfortable and easy to use. That is why all our rental set-ups are top-quality and replaced every year with new ones. The items you will need to supply are:
- Mask
- Snorkel
- Wetsuit boots
- Adjustable scuba fins
We ask you to supply this basic gear because the comfort and personalized fit of these items is so crucial to your safety and diving experience. In your future dive opportunities, dive operators will expect you to own these as well. The quality of the equipment you use has tremendous bearing on your overall comfort, safety and enjoyment. Few things can ruin the investment you make in learning to dive safely than having wrong equipment. See what we use ourselves and recommend to students. We sell all of this equipment at Klein Scuba, plus you’ll get the benefit of having this equipment fitted by a trained professional.
