The first step to getting your certification is to attend a the Summer Scuba Camp at our World Class dive training facility in Richmond Hill.
where you will complete the PADI certified Open Water Diver course (academic and pool requirements).

 

Take a look at the skills you’ll be developing during the confined water training:
 

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN?

1. Knowledge Development
During the first phase of your scuba lessons, you'll learn the basic principles of scuba diving such as:
•    What to consider when planning dives.
•    How to choose the right scuba gear for you.
•    Underwater signals and other diving procedures.
You'll learn this valuable information by reading it in the PADI Open Water Diver Manual or by using the PADI Open Water Diver eLearning. At the end of each chapter, you'll answer questions about the material to ensure you understand it. Along the way, let your PADI Instructor know if there is anything you don't understand. At the end of the course, you’ll take a final exam that ensures you have thorough knowledge of scuba diving basics.
You'll also watch videos that preview the scuba skills you'll practice in a swimming pool or pool-like environment. In addition to the video, your instructor will demonstrate each skill for you.

2. Confined Water Dives
This is what it’s all about – diving.

The basic scuba skills you learn during your certification course will help you become familiar with your scuba gear and become an underwater explorer. Some of the essential skills you learn include:
•    Setting up your scuba gear.
•    How to get water out of your mask.
•    Entering and exiting the water.
•    Buoyancy control.
•    Basic underwater navigation.
•    Safety procedures.
You'll practice these skills with an instructor until you're comfortable. When you're ready, it's time for your underwater adventure to begin at an open water dive site.

3. Open Water Dives (CAN BE ADDED AS ADD ON)
After your confined water dives, you'll head to open water, where you and your instructor will make four dives, usually over two days. On these dives you'll get to explore the underwater world. You'll apply the skills you learned in confined water while enjoying what the local environment has to offer. Most student divers complete these dives close to home, but there is an option for finishing your training while on holiday. Your PADI Instructor can explain how you can be referred to another PADI Instructor in a different location.
