Built-in protections against malware, spam, and ransomware

Drive can provide encrypted and secure access to your files. Files shared with you can be proactively scanned and removed when malware, spam, ransomware, or phishing is detected. And Drive is cloud-native, which eliminates the need for local files and can minimize risk to your devices.

People-first collaboration apps to supercharge teamwork

Drive integrates with Docs, Sheets, and Slides, cloud-native collaboration apps that enable your team to create content and collaborate more effectively in real time.

Integration with the tools and apps your team is already using

Drive integrates with and complements your team’s existing technology. Collaborate in Microsoft Office files without the need to convert file formats, and edit and store over 100 additional file types, including PDFs, CAD files, images, and more.

Google’s Search and AI technology helps your team move faster

Google’s powerful search capabilities are embedded in Drive and offer speed, reliability, and collaboration. And features like Drive search chips help your team find files fast by quickly surfacing more relevant results.

Choosing where to scuba dive in the Philippines for your Learn to Dive - Open Water diving course and scuba diving tours for certified divers that are worth traveling to can be difficult, that's why we created this list of the top diving spots in the Philippines. 

7. Anilao, Batangas (Nudibranch Capital of the Philippines)

Anilao diving in Batangas, known as the Nudibranch Capital of the Philippines, is the closest underwater haven from Metro Manila. It usually takes 2.5 to 3 hours by car from Manila to get among the various entry points in Anilao, including some of the best Batangas beaches. It features a cove so huge that it almost has 60 (48 are known to most) dive sites for anyone to play in.

Technically, Anilao represents two barangays or towns (Anilao Proper and Anilao East) in the municipality of Mabini, Batangas. Since Anilao is where the seaport was located and the only available entry point for scuba diving 40 years ago, it became the famous term to represent all dive sites found in Mabini, Tingloy, and Bauan.

Today, the coastline has been populated by different resorts that you can relax in or be your home base for diving trips.

There are three major things that you could look into when joining an Anilao diving tour: discover the tiny exotic creatures it hides, immerse yourself in its flourishing biodiversity, or blackwater diving.

Anilao diving spots are best known for nudibranchs, the tiny exotic creatures it hides in its waters. Of over 800 identified nudibranchs around the world, there are 600 that can be found in Anilao.

Browse our collection of Batangas tours

Muck diving is another interesting way to find nudibranchs, specifically in places like Anilao Pier, Basura, and Secret Bay, may it be in the morning or by night time. Train your eyes from the way these creatures display their camouflage.

Aside from nudibranch, you can also find various kinds of frogfish, sea moths, gurnards, wasp fishes, stonefishes, stargazers, flounders, worms, stingrays, shrimps, seahorses (specifically the pygmy seahorse), pipefish, and shrimpfish, among many others.

Wallow among schools of jacks in either Dive and Trek or Twin Rocks. Almost everywhere you can find butterflyfishes, angelfishes, spadefishes, surgeonfishes, rabbitfishes, scats, Moorish idols, damselfishes, snappers, barracudas, mackerels, needlefishes, groupers, hawkfishes, sweetlips, puffers, cardinalfishes, and more.

Get to amaze yourself among schools of fusiliers and anthias as if they were colored rain underwater in places behind.

Most dive resorts in Anilao are some of the best beginner diving Philippines resorts perfect for scuba diving holidays for beginners. Batangas beach resorts are well versed to lead guests on a blackwater dive. Boats usually set a 33-meter line with strong lights 10 meters apart complemented with expert dive guides to give you a glimpse of creatures you probably already know, however, at their larval state.

6. Malapascua, Cebu (Best for Thresher Sharks Diving)

Malapascua diving in Cebu is the most famous diving spot in the Philippines for the pelagic thresher sharks. Thresher sharks are typically deep-sea sharks and spend most of their time deep underwater. Take note, however, that only in Malapascua Cebu diving spots do they go shallow enough among recreational diving depths on almost a guaranteed basis for divers to see.

Off the south-eastern side of Malapascua Island is a sunken plateau called Monad Shoal where there is an abundance of cleaner wrasse fishes. Thresher sharks can get free cleaning services from these fish to remove parasites and dead tissues from their bodies. This is one of the biggest reasons why we believe these sharks are here. You can also visit some Cebu beaches while on one of the best islands in the Philippines.

The highest chance to see the sharks is at the break of dawn. Thus, it's customary to get on the boat before sunrise, usually at 4:30 AM. As the sun rises, you'll get to see other boats coming from different directions, as if it is a race to the best buoys around Monad Shoal. It eventually leads to a race among the best front-row seats underwater.

Here are some important things you have to think about this special dive during your Cebu tour package:

The use of strobes and video lights for either photography or videography are not allowed. While it has not been proven that lights may harm the sharks' eyes, lights could possibly scare them away.

The longer you stay underwater, the better your chances to see them. Thus, the use of Nitrox is highly recommended, if you are Nitrox certified.

Around the cleaning stations underwater, where the clusters of cleaning wrasses are concentrated, you can find pre-installed ropes that indicate boundaries. You are highly encouraged to kneel, hover low, or do a fin pivot outside of these boundaries. Each dive guide from every boat will be watching all of the guests underwater to make sure these rules are well abided.

Other than the pelagic thresher celebrity sharks, there are also sightings of white tip and grey reef sharks including pelagic mantas and devil rays. These are believed to be taking advantage of the wrasse cleaning stations’ services as well.

Off the northwestern part of Malapascua Island are the enchanting Gato Island, a sea snake, and fish sanctuary. It features a huge cave on the southwestern side of the island around 12 meters deep with a length of approximately 20 to 25 meters.

Please bring a torch on this dive because there is a short section in the middle where you wouldn't see external light. If you're lucky enough, white tip sharks will be accompanying you out by the exit.

Check out our list of the best resorts in Cebu and article on the top Cebu tourist spots

Around the island will be sea kraits, sea horses, nudibranchs, cuttlefish, mantis shrimps, frogfish, crabs, squids, cardinalfish, and rock formations where different soft coral reefs had healthily grown.

Aside from diving, have an enjoyable walk along Malapascua beaches like Bounty Beach where you’ll find various restaurants and shops. If you love watching sunsets, the Logon Beach would give you the best scenery.

If you want to make the most of your diving trip to Cebu, include a Moalboal diving course package to your Cebu tours where you can experience the sardine run diving and Cebu island hopping tours.

5. Coron, Palawan (Shipwreck Diving Capital of the Philippines)

Video by the Philippine Department of Tourism

Every time I think about diving in Coron, I think of a gallery of museums, specifically of historical interest, that transports me to World War II. At 9 AM on the 24th of September in 1944, a US Navy strike force of fighters and dive bombers arrived within the airspace of Coron and Busuanga and attacked a Japanese supply fleet of up to 24 ships.

It has always been a debate among historians whether the ships were detected from the air as moving islets or whether their radio transmissions were intercepted, which eventually led to a surprise aerial attack by the US Navy. The heavy air strike lasted less than an hour, leaving a carnage of burning and sinking ships.

Book Coron diving packages

The vicinity of Sangat Island in Coron has the largest concentration of sunken ships; 11 of them are within recreational scuba diving depths of 25 to 40 meters. The shipwrecks are in great condition and highly recommended among Advanced scuba divers to penetrate during Coron tour packages.

For non-divers, snorkeling can also give you a glimpse of some of these shipwrecks when island hopping in Coron.

Among the many shipwrecks included in the popular tourist spots in Coron, most are supply ships. There is one warship, Akitsushima Maru, a 118-meter long warship where a seaplane used to be deployed. It’s quite popular for wreck divers given the variety of marine life that calls it home.

Things to look out for during your diving adventure in Coron tours include a three-barrelled anti-aircraft gun by the sandy area near the base of the huge crane and the crane’s intact machinery and gears. It also has a huge rip at the stern which divers can use to penetrate it.

Other interesting armaments you can see during a Coron wreck diving would include gun placements pointing to the bottom near the mast, swivel mounts for bigger guns, and an artillery shell jammed inside its mechanism. Make your way from stem to stern among endless labyrinths until you make it to the engine room where you will find its four engines.

Each shipwreck has its secret to share. Kogyo Maru, a Navy Auxiliary Cargo Supply Ship of the Imperial Japanese Navy, reveals an encrusted tractor with its recognizable metal wheels and air compressor.

Irako Maru, a Refrigeration/Provision Store ship show special access to its galley (kitchen). Morozan Maru features her huge boilers and almost endless corridors. The rest of the shipwrecks have their own story to tell.

If you want to explore more of Palawan's beauty aside from Coron, you can include El Nido in your itinerary, one of the top tourist spots in Luzon. Check out our El Nido tour packages. You can add El Nido diving spots in your El Nido tours aside from the beaches and lagoons.

4. Verde Island Passage, Batangas (The Center of the Center of Marine Biodiversity of the World)

Around 400 meters off the eastern corner of San Agapito is Verde Island Passage, also known as San Agapito dive site. It is accessible both from Puerto Galera and Anilao, Batangas, by a motorized boat. 

The San Agapito dive site looks like a seamount that has three peaks with one always peeking out of the water approximately 2 meters high from the surface depending on the tides. The third pinnacle lies 18 meters deep. The island itself sits at the heart of the famous Verde Island Passage, a strait around 1.14 million hectares.

The strait lies between Luzon and Mindoro and has been known as the "Center of the Center of Marine Biodiversity." It connects South China Sea with the Tayabas Bay and Sibuyan Sea.

The usual flow of current in this part of the Verde Island Passage is extremely strong. Thus, only seasoned advanced scuba divers can dive here. The direction of its current would determine whether you could dive either the sea mount's east or west side.

Browse our Puerto Galera tour packages

 

As most would say, San Agapito diving is somewhat a small fraction of how Tubbataha Reefs National Park in Palawan would look like without the sharks and the rays. Its wall stretches 70 meters deep. As you go down, you will find huge coral fans. There are juvenile sea turtles that simply do their round of eating, breaching, swimming, and sleeping on a periodical basis.

You will also find a school of jacks and mackerels just like in normal scuba diving tour packages, including families of big tunas and groupers lurking around.

The best spectacle I always look forward to seeing on this dive is the massive display of swimming red-orange colored anthias. It's as if it was raining fish all over you! The visibility can be farther than 30 meters at times so be careful when you plan your ascent to your safety stop.

It may be so clear that you think you are within your 4 meters safety stop, when you are actually still 10 meters away from the surface. When the current flows are strong, it is recommended that you spend your safety stop near the closest peak and plan your ascent in the blue.

Make sure you have your long safety balloon with you because you are within one of the busiest sea lanes in the country. Check out our diving in Puerto Galera guide to learn more and browse our Puerto Galera tours for fun activities to add in your itinerary.

3. Dauin, Dumaguete (Top Muck Diving Spot)

Video by the Philippine Department of Tourism

On the southeastern part of Negros Oriental near Dumaguete is a small coastal town called Dauin. It is accessible via Sibulan Airport, also called Dumaguete Airport. Along its shores are 18 popular dive sites that are known for muck diving in the Philippines. Some of the critters found when diving in Dumaguete are rare to find.

If you are not familiar with muck diving, it simply means that most of the area happens to be mostly sandy. However, you have to be clever enough to find these hiding critters under your nose because they exhibit amazing camouflage techniques specific to this environment. The best ones happen to be very tiny and so much harder to see.

 

See our popular Dumaguete Tours and ActivitiesPrivate Siquijor Island Tour to Cambugahay Falls & Top Attractions from Dumaguete CityApo Island Day Tour with Transfers from DumagueteManjuyod Dolphin Watching & Sandbar Tour with Lunch & Transfers from DumagueteSee all tours

 

Make sure you have the best muck diving experience by having a local dive spotter expert with you. Macro photography makes time go faster than what you think, so please do check your air periodically.

The dive sites generally range from the shore sloping down to as deep as 30 meters. There are car wrecks, artificial reefs made out of vehicle tires, sea grass, sandy patches, and rock formations where different species reside.

You can find pipefishes, razorfish, frogfishes, sea horses, cuttlefish, wasp fishes, seahorses, snake eels, sea moths, dragonettes, flounders, snappers, crabs, turtles, groupers, tall garden eels, shrimps, mimic octopi, various anemone fish, white tip sharks, dog tooth tuna, nudibranchs, and flasher wrasses.

Dauin is usually the jump-off area for the Apo Island Dumaguete day tour. Diving in Apo Island is best known for diver-friendly sea turtles and a huge school of jacks. After your diving experience, make sure to add other Dumaguete tours to your itinerary as well. Check out the best flights to Dumaguete airfare rates for your trip.

2. Balicasag Island, Bohol (Sea Turtles, Barracudas, and Marine Sanctuary)

Balicasag Island diving is a must when in Panglao Island in Bohol, one of the top tourist spots in Visayas next to Boracay and Cebu. You will have to arrange Balicasag Island tours from Panglao Island to get you to Balicasag Island whether you want to simply visit its beach or go scuba diving. For a hassle-free vacation, you can book a Bohol diving package where everything is prepared for you.

Balicasag Island, a marine sanctuary and Bohol island hopping tour stop that you should include in a Bohol package, is approximately 600 meters in diameter. This Bohol diving spot is one of the best destinations when island hopping in the Philippines. There are five beautiful diving spots around it, including the Balicasag Marine Sanctuary that highlights a 200-meter drop-off.

The huge wall is teeming with marine life together with resident tiny critters that macro diving photographers will enjoy. Along that wall is a huge school of jacks; I remember seeing the school arranged as if it were a vertical vortex extending 30 meters long.

There is also the school of barracudas. It truly is a great place to experience, especially when you get to see its visibility that could go 20 to 30 meters far depending on the season. The Black Forest, the most popular Bohol diving site, got its name from having the abundance of amazing black corals, and is a must-add to your Bohol itinerary when diving.

It is 40 meters deep and has its share of a school of jacks and barracudas. Make sure to see the beautiful islands of Bohol with dolphin watching if you can!

Turtle Point, as the name suggests, has the most number of friendly resident sea turtles you can go diving with. Do not go rushing towards one.

Always make that slow approach to show that you mean no harm and remember never to touch any of them including any marine life. The place also has caves as deep as 60 to 75 meters deep meant for technical divers to penetrate.

The other three dive sites include The Royal Garden (with an average depth of 18 meters), Diver's Haven, and the Cathedral wall, all of which share an extensive wealth of beautiful soft and hard corals, sea turtles, and many different species of fish.

1. Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park, Palawan (Largest Marine Protected Area of the Philippines and a UNESCO World Heritage Site)

 

Video by the Philippine Department of Tourism

Aside from having the best beaches in the Philippines found in Palawan's Coron and El Nido, this province is also home to The Tubbataha Reef.

At the southwestern part of Puerto Princesa in Palawan, where the heart of The Coral Triangle sits, is the Philippines’ crown jewel, the Tubbataha Reefs Natural Park. The word “Tubbataha” is a Samal term that means “long reef exposed at low tide.”

Tubbataha Reef diving will let you explore two huge coral atolls called the North and South Atolls plus a smaller coral structure called the Jessie Beazley Reef, found northeast of the North Atoll.

Its location automatically renders itself isolated and has become its best protection against human exploitation. Most dive liveaboard operations, if not all, begin its sail from Puerto Princesa’s wharf by evening and arrive at Tubbataha by sunrise.

Tubbataha is the Philippines’ first national marine park and has garnered milestones through the help of passionate conservationists, scientists, and scuba divers over the past decades.

Browse our list of El Nido island hopping tours

Check out our collection of Puerto Princesa tour packages

It is one of the largest Marine Protected Area in the country, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is part of the Ramsar list of Wetlands of International Importance.

You'll be able to see 360 species of corals, half of what the world carries today, and 23 known shark and ray species, including whale sharks, tiger sharks, white tip, silver tip, blacktip, hammerhead, nurse sharks, manta rays, devil rays, and eagle rays.

Photo from the Philippines Department of Tourism

Feast your eyes among the 600 species of fish and 13 species of dolphins and whales in Tubbataha Reef. There are only two islets in the area where 100 species of birds reside and are known to be one of the remaining safe breeding habitats for seabirds in southeast Asia.

No one is allowed to step on either islets in Tubbataha nor are you allowed to use a drone unless you have clearance from the Tubbataha Management Office.

There are strict rules which guests should adhere to; using gloves, reef hooks, and pointing rods, for example, are prohibited while diving. Chasing, collecting, and feeding marine life, as well as polluting, littering, and fishing are not allowed.

Every liveaboard sets its travel to Tubbataha on a weekly basis from mid-April to mid-July, when its waters are glass flat. Beyond these months, there are no diving trips to Tubbataha. Find the best flights to Puerto Princesa airfare rates for your trip. 

There is no access to any phone signal once you’re there, so don’t miss to inform your colleagues and loved ones about your trip. Some liveaboards will have communications access via satellite phones only.

How to Scuba Dive: A Guide for Beginners

Megan Denny

Interested in learning how to scuba dive? You’ve come to the right place. In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know about becoming a scuba diver.

The Open Water Diver Course

If you want to call yourself a scuba diver, you need a scuba certification. The first certification you can earn is called Open Water Diver and it’s issued upon successful completion of the Open Water Diver course.

A scuba certification allows you to get air tank fills, rent dive gear and book scuba diving adventures anywhere in the world. It also puts you in an exclusive club of underwater explorers and celebrities.

Why are scuba certifications required?

Scuba diving requires specific knowledge, skills and training – just like driving a car. During the Open Water Diver course, you’ll learn how to assemble a scuba unit, respectful ways to observe and interact with underwater life, how to manage your air supply, and other essential skills.

Start Your Scuba Lessons Online – FREE!

The fastest way to become a scuba diver is to start the Open Water Diver course online. It’s free to get started, no credit card required.

Start Intro to Open Water

Try Scuba Diving Before Committing to a Certification Course

It’s hard to describe what scuba diving is like, so if you’re interested in scuba diving but not ready to commit to a class, try a Discover Scuba Diving® Experience. You’ll get to try on scuba gear and take your first breaths underwater under the supervision of an experienced scuba professional in a pool or pool-like environment. 

A Discover Scuba Experience isn’t required, just an option for those who are unsure about a multi-day scuba certification course. If you’re hesitant about learning to dive, check out the Top 10 Myths About Scuba Diving.

Ready to start exploring the other two-thirds of our ocean planet? Read on to find out what equipment and skills you need to scuba dive and the steps leading up to scuba certification.

How to Prepare for Scuba Diving

You don’t have to be an excellent swimmer to be a scuba diver, but you do need to be comfortable in the water and know how to swim. During your scuba certification course you’ll be asked to:

Float or tread water for 10 minutes – you can lie on your back, on your front, tread water, ‘dog paddle’, or anything else to stay afloat without using any flotation aids.Swim 200 meters/yards (or 300 meters/yards wearing a mask, fins and snorkel) without stopping. There is no time limit, and you may use any swimming strokes you want.

There are many adaptive techniques that allow individuals with physical challenges to meet the waterskills requirements. People with paraplegia, amputations and other challenges commonly earn PADI Open Water Diver certifications. Speak to a PADI Instructor, Dive Center or Resort for more information. Certain medical conditions require a doctor’s approval to participate in scuba diving activities. In some countries, a physician’s signature is required for diving regardless of how healthy you are. Avoid disappointment, download and review the medical questionnaire.

Basic Scuba Diving Equipment

When you’re enrolled in a class, most dive shops will provide all the scuba diving equipment you need either as a loan or rental including a:

Wetsuit or dry suitScuba tankBCD (buoyancy control device)RegulatorSPG and or Dive Computer

Most dive shops will ask you to provide your own:

MaskSnorkeland Fins

If you already own a snorkel set, bring your snorkel, mask and fins to the dive shop before your first in-water session. Most high-quality snorkel masks can be used for scuba diving, but most snorkel fins are too flimsy. Check out these tips for buying a mask that fits.

If you’re learning to dive in cold water, you may also need to bring (or purchase) gloves and a hood. If you get cold easily (like I do), they’re well worth the investment!

Scuba Certification: Step-By-Step

Step 1: Consider Your Learning Preferences

If you don’t like tackling new skills while being surrounded by strangers, a private class may be preferable. If, however, you enjoy meeting new people, a group or semi-private class can be a lot of fun.

Step 2: Choose Where You to Do Your Training

There are three ways to earn your scuba certification:

Do all your training close to homeStart at home, finish on vacation (Open Water Referral) Learn to scuba dive away from home

You can earn a scuba certification in as little as four days, but that can be a lot of pressure. Read more about each of the options above on our learn to dive page.

Step 3: Sign Up for a Class

From start to finish, it takes 4-7 days (on average) to earn a scuba certification.* You’ll spend some of that time studying on your own, but most of the time you’ll be working with an instructor. 

In post-class surveys, more than 95% of student divers say they would highly recommend their PADI Instructor, but if you have a lot of PADI Dive Shops to choose from, here are some tips on:

How to choose a dive shopHow to choose a scuba instructor

* You can take up to one year to complete your scuba certification course.

In case you’re wondering, how much does a scuba certification cost? That’s a tough question to answer. All PADI Dive Centers and Resorts are independently owned and operated, so prices vary depending on location, class size and other factors. 

Generally speaking, a scuba certification course costs about as much as a full day of surfing lessons, three hours of private golf lessons, or one amazing night out! If, while researching prices, you see a rate that’s drastically lower than all the others, ask what it includes. Some dive shops include everything for one price, others may list a price that only covers the course tuition and charge separately for online training, boat fees, etc.

Step 4: Knowledge Development

There are three main parts to a scuba certification:  

Home study online or classroom learning (knowledge development)Skill practice in a pool or pool-like environment (confined water)Open water scuba dives

Most people start their scuba course with knowledge development. During this part of your training, you’ll learn all about scuba equipment and terminology and watch videos of diving skills. If you choose PADI eLearning®, you can complete this portion of your course at home, at your own pace using a computer or mobile device. 

Some dive centers offer in-person knowledge development with regularly-scheduled classroom sessions. You’ll purchase a book and DVD for home study between classes. If you’re not sure whether you’ll like online training, don’t forget you can start your scuba certification class online for free. Give it a try, and if you don’t like it, ask your dive shop about going the book and classroom route.

Step 5: Confined Water

You’ll take your first breaths underwater in a pool or pool-like environment. Your instructor will demonstrate scuba skills one at a time, then help you practice each one until you’ve mastered it. 

The PADI Open Water Diver course is mastery-based and designed to help new divers build confidence in their skills. For example, you’ll first practice clearing a small amount of water from your mask. Once you’re comfortable, you’ll work your way up to filling your entire mask with water and clearing it out.

Confined water sessions are also where you’ll practice putting together a scuba unit. You’ll do this many times until it becomes second nature.

Step 6: Open Water Dives

Once you’ve mastered basic scuba skills in confined water, you’ll go scuba diving in open water. ‘Open water’ can be the ocean, a lake, a quarry or even hot springs. Your PADI Instructor will be by your side the entire time.

Your first dives will be to 12 meters/40 feet or shallower. The maximum depth allowed for any dive during the open water course is 18 meters/60 feet. 

You’ll make four open water dives in total, usually over two days. During each dive you’ll:

Complete a predive safety checkPractice maintaining your position in the water (buoyancy)Perform skills you learned in confined waterExplore the dive site

On the final dive, you and your class (or buddy) will create a dive plan. Under the supervision of your instructor or a qualified assistant, you’ll dive your plan, paying attention to your air pressure and other safe diving practices. This final exercise helps ensure you’re ready to make dives on your own.

Step 7: Congratulations, You’re a Diver!

Depending on where you live, you’ll either receive a certification card in the mail or a digital PADI eCard™. 

Your scuba certification is good for life, and if you ever want to refresh your skills, you can take a scuba refresher program.

Seek Adventure. Save the Ocean.

The PADI Open Water Diver course is the world’s most popular and widely recognized scuba diving certification. PADI Instructors and Dive Shops issue more than one million certifications every year as part of our collective mission to restore ocean health. When you choose PADI, you support independent businesses committed to ocean conservation and like-minded, mission-driven organizations. Learn more on our conservation page.

Dived vs. Dove: Usage Guide

Dive, which was originally a weak verb, developed a past tense dove, probably by analogy with verbs like drive, drove. Dove exists in some British dialects and has become the standard past tense especially in speech in some parts of Canada. In the U.S. dived and dove are both widespread in speech as past tense and past participle, with dove less common than dived in the south Midland area, and dived less common than dove in the Northern and north Midland areas. In writing, the past tense dived is usual in British English and somewhat more common in American English. Dove seems relatively rare as a past participle in writing.

Medical Requirements

Scuba diving requires a minimum level of health and fitness. Chronic health conditions, certain medications and/or recent surgery may require you to get written approval from a physician before diving.

Avoid disappointment, download and review the Diver Medical form to ensure you won’t need a physician’s approval to dive before enrolling in a scuba course. Instructors, divemasters and dive shop staff are not physicians and should not be asked for medical advice; only medical professionals can give medical clearance to dive.

If you (or your physician) have questions about medical fitness to dive, contact the experts at Divers Alert Network (DAN).

 

Prerequisites & Minimum Age

Course prerequisites: able to swim, medically fit for diving, comfortable in the water

During the Open Water Diver course, your instructor will ask you to:

Float or tread water without aids for 10 minutes

Swim 200 metres/yards with no aids or 300 metres/yards with mask, fins and snorkel

Minimum age: 10

Divers certified between the ages of 10-14 earn a Junior Diver certification

Junior Open Water Divers automatically become Open Water Divers at age 15. Any replacement certification card or eCard purchased the day after the diver's 15th birthday will automatically show an Open Water Diver (not Jr. Open Water Diver) certification.

Children eight or older can try scuba diving in a pool (or pool-like environment). Ask your PADI Dive Shop about a Bubblemaker experience or birthday party. Children who are comfortable in the water can participate in the PADI Seal Team program, a multi-day pool diving experience.

 

Choosing a Dive Shop

There are three parts to certification: knowledge development, skill practice, and open water dives. You can complete all three parts locally, on holiday, or split between the two.

Choose a dive shop close to home to:

Support your local diving community

Meet other divers in your area

Learn about your local ecosystem

Choose a dive shop away from home if you:

Plan to travel to a dive destination on holiday

Like to meet new people when travelling

Have the time to complete your course while on vacation

If you're not ready to try diving locally, but want to support your local dive shop, you can complete eLearning and portions of the course close to home, then complete the rest of the course while travelling. Contact your local PADI Dive Shop and ask about an open water referral.

TIP: Complete PADI Open Water eLearning before travel to minimize the amount of time you spend studying while on vacation.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Looking for a detailed explanation of what's involved with learning to scuba dive? This comprehensive article covers everything you need to know about scuba certification.

You can also review the frequently asked questions about learning to scuba dive at the bottom of this page.

If you need help planning your dive trip PADI Dive GuidesTM  is the great resource for researching destinations, planning, and booking your adventure.   

 

Other Costs & Equipment

This course requires both knowledge development and inwater training for certification. When you purchase a PADI eLearning course from our website, the cost covers the knowledge development portion only.

There will be an additional cost to complete your certification with a PADI Instructor. The cost depends on class size, location, and whether or not you need to rent equipment.

Most dive shops require students to provide their own mask, fins and snorkel. If you already own a mask, snorkel and/or fins, bring them to your instructor before your first inwater session. Some snorkeling masks and fins are inadequate for scuba diving.

Basic scuba gear, including a regulator, buoyancy control device (BCD), dive computer and cylinder, may or may not be included with the inwater training cost.

You may also need to buy or rent exposure protection (wetsuit or drysuit) depending on the diving environment.

Contact your PADI Dive Center or Resort for more information and pricing.

Scuba Diving Certification FAQs

Your questions answered.

 

 

How do I get started in scuba diving?

There are three steps to becoming a certified diver: knowledge development, In-water training, and open water dives.Knowledge development is the first step and requirement for a recreational Open Water Diver certification. PADI eLearning is an independent study option that lets you learn at your own pace, providing the knowledge and fundamentals you will need to confidently advance to your in-water training with a PADI Instructor.In-water training: During this step, you will practice your dive skills and learn how to use your scuba gear with a PADI Professional in a pool or pool-like environment. These practice dives will help you build your confidence before you begin your open water dive training.Open water training: During this third and final step you will complete four open water dives with a PADI Instructor to complete your PADI dive certification.

 

How long does it take to learn scuba diving?

The first level of a scuba certification is Open Water Diver, which on average can be completed in 3-5 days.The independent study using PADI’s digital learning program (eLearning) takes about eight hours. In-water work with a professional PADI Dive Instructor, includes pool training and open water dives which can be completed in just a few days.The PADI Open Water Diver course is flexible and performance-based, which means you progress at your own pace. Once you and your instructor feel confident that you've mastered a skill, you’ll move on to the next one. If you want to try the new skill a few more times, that’s okay too. The goal is for you to learn how to be a safe, confident diver and feel comfortable in the water.

 

Is it hard to learn how to scuba dive?

Learning to dive is an exciting and challenging experience. With PADI eLearning you can read, watch videos, and take quizzes at your own pace to achieve the dive knowledge and fundamentals required to confidently advance to your in-water training. An experienced PADI Instructor will help you every step of the way during your training to become a safe and competent diver.

 

Am I too old to take a scuba diving course?

No, it’s never too late to start diving. You only need to be in good health and reasonably fit. All PADI students are required to complete a medical questionnaire prior to diving. Some regions also require a doctor’s medical statement confirming you’re medically fit to dive prior to course enrollment/diving. As diving has inherent risks, minimum age limits are in place to ensure children can understand dive theory and react to situations responsibly, but there is no maximum limit.

 

How much does a PADI course cost?

Average Certification Cost: The average cost of obtaining your PADI certification will vary based on the specific course and location you choose. Please contact your chosen Dive Shop for pricing. PADI eLearning Cost:  If you wish to start your knowledge portion of the training first you can purchase PADI eLearning and begin this step on your own time. If you are new to diving, you will want to start Open Water Diver eLearning which costs around $230 USD. Continuing education course prices vary by certification type. See full list of PADI eLearning courses. In-Water Training Cost: After you complete your PADI eLearning you will need to complete your in-water training with your chosen Dive Shop. The cost for this specific training will depend upon your location. Please contact your chosen Dive Shop for in-water training cost. If you have already purchased your eLearning, please notify the Dive Shop when asking for pricing.

 

Is scuba diving an expensive hobby?

There are many affordable options when learning to scuba dive. For the required knowledge development portion of your dive training, PADI eLearning is an independent study option that allows you to learn at your own pace for a moderate price. Check with your local Dive Shops and compare prices for your in-water training. Many Dive Shops offer discounted packages during off-peak seasons, depending on location. Dive equipment rental may also be included in training packages, providing cost savings. After you become certified, renting scuba gear is an affordable alternative to buying your scuba gear, and also saves the trouble of storing and traveling with dive gear. Diving locally is a budget-friendly alternative to dive travel and a great way to meet other divers within your community.

 

Can people with physical challenges learn to dive?

Yes. People with missing limbs, reduced mobility, or other physical challenges commonly earn the PADI Open Water Diver certification. Even individuals with more significant physical or mental challenges can still take part in scuba experiences. Talk to your PADI Instructor at your local PADI Dive Center or Resort for more information.

All student divers complete a brief scuba medical questionnaire that asks about medical conditions that could be a problem while diving and will determine if you need to be evaluated by a physician before being able to scuba dive. If the doctor approves, or none of the conditions applied to you, you're ready to start!

 

Do you need to know how to swim to scuba dive?

You need basic swimming skills and the ability to comfortably maintain yourself in the water. Your PADI Instructor will ask you to:

Swim 200 metres/yards (or 300 metres/yards wearing mask, fins and snorkel) without stopping. There is no time limit, and you may use any swimming strokes you want. 

Float and tread water for 10 minutes, using any method(s) you want.

 

Does a PADI scuba certification expire?

Your PADI certification does not expire. If you haven’t been diving in a while and wish to refresh your scuba safety knowledge and skills, ask your dive shop about the PADI ReActivate™ course.

 

What about sharks?

When you’re lucky, you get to see a shark. Although incidents with sharks occur, they are very rare and, with respect to diving, primarily involve spear fishing or feeding sharks, both of which trigger feeding behavior. Most of the time, if you see a shark it’s just passing through and a rare sight to enjoy.

 

Do women have any special concerns regarding diving?

Aside from pregnancy, no. Because physiologists know little about the effects of diving on the fetus, the recommendation is that women avoid diving while pregnant or trying to become pregnant. Menstruation is not normally a concern. 

 

How deep do beginner scuba divers go?

Your PADI Instructor will be by your side the entire time. Your first dives will be to 12 meters/40 feet or shallower. The maximum depth allowed for any dive during the open water course is 18 meters/60 feet.

 

What if I feel claustrophobic?

People find the “weightlessness” of scuba diving to be quite freeing. Modern scuba masks are available in translucent models, which you may prefer. During your scuba diving training, your instructor will give you plenty of time and assistance to ensure you are comfortable.

 

What is a PADI certification card?

Once you have completed your certification, you will receive a PADI certification card! The card has details of your certification level and date, along with you and your instructor's name and number.

For questions regarding plastic or eCard (electronic version), please see our Certification Card FAQ.

If you have an eCard, you can access through the free PADI App.

See what you can do with Google Drive

Built-in protections against malware, spam, and ransomware

Drive can provide encrypted and secure access to your files. Files shared with you can be proactively scanned and removed when malware, spam, ransomware, or phishing is detected. And Drive is cloud-native, which eliminates the need for local files and can minimize risk to your devices.

People-first collaboration apps to supercharge teamwork

Drive integrates with Docs, Sheets, and Slides, cloud-native collaboration apps that enable your team to create content and collaborate more effectively in real time.

Integration with the tools and apps your team is already using

Drive integrates with and complements your team’s existing technology. Collaborate in Microsoft Office files without the need to convert file formats, and edit and store over 100 additional file types, including PDFs, CAD files, images, and more.

Google’s Search and AI technology helps your team move faster

Google’s powerful search capabilities are embedded in Drive and offer speed, reliability, and collaboration. And features like Drive search chips help your team find files fast by quickly surfacing more relevant results.

Thousands of teams are already using Drive to revolutionize the way they work

“I never worry about finding a document. Everything’s in Drive, I can access it anywhere, and that’s been revolutionary.”

“Most of our team members were already familiar with Drive and found it very intuitive and easy to use, so change management was minimal and we were quickly up and running.”

Read Story

“Real-time collaboration with Google Docs and Drive is a must-have...if we ever tried to move employees off it, it would be a torches and pitchforks situation—complete chaos.”

Read Story

“Google is revolutionizing collaboration and individual productivity through AI. Employees can focus more on creating value for our customers and less on mundane tasks.”
