FAQ
Common questions about this tour
How much does the PADI Scuba Diver course cost?
The PADI Scuba Diver course costs €480 per person. This includes PADI eLearning access and materials, all diving equipment for 3 days, classroom sessions, confined-water practice, two open-water certification dives, and your PADI Scuba Diver certification card.
What certification do I get and what does it allow?
You earn the PADI Scuba Diver certification, which qualifies you to dive to 12 meters (40 feet) under the supervision of a PADI professional anywhere in the world. It's an internationally recognized certification that never expires.
What's the schedule over 3 days?
Day 1: Classroom theory and eLearning review, plus confined-water skills in a calm, shallow area. Day 2: Additional confined-water practice and your first open-water dive. Day 3: Second open-water certification dive and final skills assessment. Sessions start at 08:00 each day.
Can I upgrade to Open Water Diver later?
Yes! The Scuba Diver certification is the intermediate step to Open Water Diver. You can upgrade with just two additional open-water dives — either during the same trip or at any PADI dive center worldwide. The upgrade brings your maximum depth to 18 meters and allows you to dive independently.

Maximum 4 students per instructor. This small group size ensures you receive thorough, personalized instruction throughout the three days. The instructors are multilingual (Italian and English).
