Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does a PADI certification take?

- What is the minimum age for scuba certification?
- PADI Open Water Diver certification requires a minimum age of 10 years old (Junior Open Water). Full Open Water certification is available at age 15+. Discover Scuba experiences are available starting at age 10.
- Do I need to be a strong swimmer?
- You need basic water comfort and the ability to swim 200 meters (or 300 meters with mask, snorkel, and fins) and float or tread water for 10 minutes. These are PADI standards, and your instructor will work with you to build confidence.
