PADI Shore Diver

Enjoy diving freedom ... dive from shore when & where you want! No being at the pier or on a dive boat in a crowd, no planning your diving day around the dive boat schedule, no limits to dive times. Instead, imagine entering the water at a dive site of your choice ... in moments, you and your buddy gear up and begin to explore on your schedule not someone else's. Many dive locations around the world feature easy entries & exits from shore at uncrowded, spectacular dive sites.

Course Prerequisites

• PADI Open Water Diver, PADI Junior Open Water Diver or equivalent

• Minimum age 10

What You Will Learn

You will learn to confidently and independently plan and execute safe and enjoyable shore dives in those locations where access to shore diving sites is available and divers would prefer to dive on their own schedule or at less popular dive sites where organized diving is infrequent.

Performance Requirements

PADI Shore Diver specialty course certification training is typically conducted with a brief classroom session, followed by open water training dives. To achieve certification, you will need to:

• Participate in the classroom training session and complete the Shore Diver Knowledge Review provided by your instructor.

• Complete (2) Shore Diver training dives with a PADI Shore Diver Instructor.

Course Format

PADI Shore Diver specialty courses are typically conducted at local shore dive sites. Your classroom session and two PADI Shore Diver specialty training dives can be completed in one day.
