The minimum age for PADI Open Water scuba certification is 10 years old and everyone must be able to swim. We will have you complete swim and float test at the first pool session. 

Medical Clearance

Every participant in a scuba certification course is required to fill out a medical statement that screens for conditions that may affect the safety of diving. Any “yes” answer doesn’t mean you cant dive, but we will require approval from your doctor prior to the start of class. You can download the form below.
