Scuba Diver Course FAQs

Yes. SSI and PADI Scuba Diver certifications can be used when diving with dive centers outside Bali. However, Scuba Divers must dive under the direct supervision of a qualified dive professional and stay within the certification depth limit of 12 metres.

Once certified, you can continue recreational diving under the direct supervision of a dive professional, within the limits of your certification and training. You can also continue your education by upgrading to the Open Water Diver certification, which provides greater independence and a higher depth limit.

Yes. The Scuba Diver course is part of the pathway toward Open Water Diver certification. If you decide to continue, you can complete the remaining theory, confined-water training, and open-water dives required for the Open Water Diver course. You don’t need to start your training again from the beginning.
