The Adventure of Your Life!
Did you know that PADI certifies nearly one million new explorers every year? This proves why your certification card is universally accepted. You’ll also be amazed to learn that the first step to mastering diving is a skill called buoyancy, which lets you feel like you’re “flying” underwater. And for those who are curious excitement is guaranteed and safety is key! It’s actually far more likely to be struck by lightning than to have an incident with a shark while diving, because safety is our top priority! From the age of 10, you can begin this amazing adventure as a Junior Open Water Diver. The underwater world is waiting for you!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum depth I can dive as a PADI Open Water Diver?
18 meters (60 feet). (For divers aged 10–11, the limit is 12 meters.)
Why is it essential to always dive with a buddy?
For safety. A buddy can assist in emergencies sharing air, helping with a cramp, or signaling for help at the surface.
What should I do if I get separated from my buddy underwater?
Search for your buddy for no more than one minute. If you don’t find them, ascend slowly to the surface, wait briefly, and reunite there.
What effect does pressure have on the air volume in my body and equipment?
As you descend, pressure increases and air volume decreases (compresses). As you ascend, pressure decreases and air expands. This is crucial for buoyancy control and for following the “never hold your breath” rule.
What is the most important rule in scuba diving?
Never hold your breath. Always breathe continuously. This prevents lung overexpansion injuries when ascending, since air expands as pressure decreases.
