Why the Skin Diver Course?

Not everyone who is interested in exploring the underwater world can or wants to scuba dive. Skin diving may be an option. Skin diving can be described as "breath hold diving". Using masks, snorkels, fins, and buoyancy-control devices (BCD's) skin divers both snorkel on the surface and regularly dive underwater. The PADI Skin Diver course is a simple, structured, training program. In the academic portion of the course, Skin Diver students learn about equipment, diving science, the environment, problem management, and safe skin diving practices. Knowledge development covers information on equipment, entering the water, checking buoyancy, surface swimming, snorkel clearing and performing surface dives. In the water training portion of the course, Skin Diver students learn and practice safe skin diving techniques.

The PADI Skin Diver program is an is an excellent pre-training experience for children who want to explore the possibilities but are too young to dive with scuba in the open water or before trying the PADI Bubblemaker program.

Successful completion of the PADI Skin Diver course results in PADI certification.
