Frequently Asked Questions
PADI
Bottlenose Dolphin
 
Do I have to be a good swimmer?
  ATo become a Scuba Diver, you need to be comfortable in the water and have basic
swimming skills, so your instructor will ask you to do some swimming and floating -
nothing extreme (200 metres and a 10 minute float/tread water), just enough to
determine you have the basic swimming abilities.
   
  How fit do I need to be?
  AAnyone of average fitness can learn to dive. A medical assessment form is completed
before the course can be undertaken. Your GP or a specialist Dive Doctor should
evaluate any potential issues. In some cases a Medical Fitness to Dive Certificate may
be required. You will be required to sign a Medical Statement Form prior to training.
   
  Is there an age limit?
  AThe minimum ages for Scuba Certification are 12 years for the Junior Open Water
Diver (adult supervised diving) and 15 years for the Open Water Certification.
These certifications show that you have successfully completed the course according
to the training standards and requirements established by PADI.
  Your certificate is issued as a card (credit card size) that shows your level of
certification on one side; your photograph, name, date of certification and PADI
number on the other
