So, now you're a diver. Maybe you've just completed your first introductory dive with the Discover Scuba Diving program... maybe you've already completed your PADI "Scuba Diver" certification... Either way, you've started your adventures in diving. Upgrading your certification opens new doors to other exciting diving activities. Dive at night with Kona's famous Mantas, explore a sunken ship, or dive to deeper reefs. To do all of these things you must continue your scuba training.

The PADI "Scuba Diver" certification is good for a lifetime of shallow water scuba experiences (to 40'), as long as you are accompanied by a PADI professional.

The "Open Water Diver" certification is a full certification which allows you to dive deeper. It also teaches you to plan conduct your own dives, without the supervision of PADI professionals. Explore a new reef at a secret beach with your family or friends. This course is also a prerequisite to participating in the exciting worlds of night & wreck diving, as well as many other fascinating adventures.
