About this tour
Get your PADI Scuba Diver certification in as little as one day with Kona Shore Divers. This entry-level certification is ideal if you're short on time but want to become a certified diver - particularly if you plan to go scuba diving under the supervision of a PADI Professional.
As a certified PADI Scuba Diver, you can dive under the direct supervision of a PADI Professional to a maximum depth of 12 meters (40 feet), obtain air fills, rent or purchase scuba equipment, and participate in supervised dive activities. From here, you can continue your training by completing the full PADI Open Water Diver certification and specialty courses.
The course includes a PADI e-learning code to complete your academic work online before your in-water training sessions in Kona's warm, clear waters. Note that enrollment does not guarantee graduation or certification, and the PADI e-learning portion is non-refundable once the code is issued (valid for up to one year).
Contact Kona Shore Divers directly to book and schedule your course dates.
