The knowledge and skills you learn in this program are just the beginning of an exciting array of courses and programs that await. With a PADI Scuba Diver certification card, you will be able to obtain air fills, scuba equipment and other services for diving under supervision. Once completed, you can apply your new Scuba Diver rating towards your complete PADI Open Water Certification at a later date of your choosing.
