Basic Scuba Diving Courses

Posted on | December 7, 2009 | No Comments

Listed below are the basic scuba diving courses from the introductory to the advanced courses with short descriptions that could give you ideas for your preference.

Introductory courses allow you to experience scuba diving without any certification or license but are gateway courses if chosen to pursue for scuba diving certification.

• > Discover Scuba Diving – (for ages 10 yrs+) Learn to use basic scuba equipment and get a quick and easy introduction to scuba diving
• > Bubblemaker – (for ages 8 yrs+) A good way to introduce scuba diving to children within six feet of water

Certification courses make you a licensed scuba diver once the requirements are met.

• > Open Water Diving – (for ages 10 yrs+) Explore new adventures at deeper depths and earn your certification as a licensed scuba diver
• > Scuba Diver Certification – This certification allows for ample dive experience and is a good warm-up for the Open Water course and requires less time than the Open Water course but has a limited certification

Advanced courses enhance your skills as a licensed scuba diver

• > Advanced Open Water Course – Introduces you to underwater navigation and to deeper water diving as deep as 18-30 meters or 60-100 feet
• > Nitrox Diving – Stay underwater for longer periods of time using a combination of nitrogen and oxygen gases

These are just a few of the many courses that could be taken in scuba diving and are the usual courses taken by many. The other diver-level courses involve safety/first aid and adventure. If scuba diving should be pursued as a career, technical, professional and emergency response or rescue courses may be taken.
